Weebit Nano Restricted and SkyWater Know-how verify Weebit Resistive Random-Entry Reminiscence (ReRAM) IP has been absolutely certified for industrial temperatures using SkyWater’s 130nm CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) (S130) course of, together with third occasion processing.
The complete qualification confirms the standard and repeatability of Weebit’s embedded ReRAM module, when SkyWater prospects use Weebit’s confirmed non-volatile reminiscence (NVM) IP in quantity manufacturing. The qualification used demo chips produced by SkyWater which combine Weebit ReRAM IP. The assessments had been carried out per the JEDEC trade requirements for NVMs which impose rigorous testing of many silicon die blindly chosen from three impartial wafer heaps.
All of the die handed the whole set of qualification assessments, validating the ReRAM’s suitability for quantity manufacturing as embedded IP. The Weebit ReRAM IP was certified for:
- Excessive endurance: 10K flash-equivalent cycles
- Knowledge retention: 10 years at industrial grade temperatures
- Retention after biking, exhibiting sturdy lifetime efficiency
- 3x SMT solder reflow cycles
Weebit ReRAM permits firms to create techniques on chip (SoC) designs which might be extra vitality environment friendly, extra dependable, higher secured and decrease value than these utilizing flash or different rising NVMs. Weebit ReRAM expertise in S130 is an ultra-low energy, radiation tolerant and quick NVM that firms can use in creating extremely built-in SoCs for functions together with analog/mixed-signal, IoT, automotive, industrial, medical and extra.
Coby Hanoch, CEO of Weebit Nano, says, “Profitable qualification of our expertise in SkyWater S130 confirms that prospects can have faith that the IP will work reliably as specified. Along with SkyWater, we’re engaged in quite a few buyer discussions and anticipate that Weebit ReRAM will probably be in design with a number of of those prospects throughout this calendar 12 months. SkyWater’s expertise as-a-service method is a superb differentiator for patrons creating new IP, and its course of applied sciences for mixed-signal designs, rad-hard ICs, ROICs and energy administration are a wonderful match for our ReRAM expertise, providing a novel value-add to varied markets and functions.”
Steve Kosier, SkyWater CTO, says, “Our prospects are more and more trying to combine NVM of their SoC designs to embed extra intelligence and capabilities of their next-generation merchandise throughout a spread of markets. Weebit ReRAM is good for a lot of of our prospects’ functions, with ultra-low energy consumption, quick entry time, wonderful reliability even at excessive temperatures and tolerance to radiation and electro-magnetic fields. As a U.S.-based pure-play foundry, SkyWater’s mixed-signal CMOS platform has been used reliably for billions of units to-date, within the automotive, aerospace, industrial and medical markets. Now with an embedded NVM enabled in our CMOS platform, we’re in a position to higher serve the sensible IoT machine and edge computing markets.”
Weebit ReRAM IP in S130
Weebit ReRAM IP is an embedded module with a whole set of EDA (exploratory information evaluation) views and collateral suitable with the design flows to allow clean integration by SoC architects. The module in S130 features a 256Kb ReRAM array, management logic, decoders, IOs (Enter/Output communication components) and error correcting code (ECC). Its scalable, modular design permits customisation in keeping with a buyer’s particular design necessities (e.g., reminiscence density, phrase dimension, system interface).
The module is designed with patent-pending analog and digital circuitry operating sensible algorithms that considerably improve the reminiscence array’s technical parameters. Upon request, the module might be made obtainable as a part of a whole subsystem together with a RISC-V microcontroller (MCU), system interfaces, static random-access reminiscence (SRAM), and peripherals. Weebit ReRAM might be scaled to different processes.
