Revolutionary 1Mbit Automotive-Grade F-RAM Memory by Infineon

Infineon Technologies, a leading innovator in semiconductor solutions, proudly presents a groundbreaking advancement in memory technology – the industry's inaugural 1Mbit Automotive-Grade Serial EXCELON F-RAM Memory. This cutting-edge development is a direct response to the escalating demand within the rapidly expanding Event Data Recorder (EDR) market.

As the automotive landscape evolves, the significance of specialized data storage solutions becomes paramount. The EXCELON F-RAM Memory series effectively addresses this need by seamlessly capturing and preserving vital data in real-time. With unparalleled reliability, this innovation offers an extended storage horizon spanning decades.

Noteworthy features of the 1Mbit EXCELON F-RAM include its role as the pioneering automotive-grade serial F-RAM memory, setting new benchmarks for the industry. Both the 1Mbit and 4Mbit variants have successfully achieved AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification, cementing their robustness for a broader temperature spectrum (-40°C to +125°C). This certification expansion enriches the existing automotive-grade F-RAM memory family, which spans storage capacities ranging from 4Kbit to 16Mbit.

Performance is another hallmark of the EXCELON F-RAM series. Swift and dependable read/write speeds are realized, reaching up to 50 MHz in SPI mode and an impressive 108 MHz in Quad SPI (QSPI) mode. This remarkable performance is accompanied by exceptional endurance, boasting up to one trillion read/write cycles. Consequently, data can be reliably recorded at 10-microsecond intervals, ensuring integrity for up to two decades.

Ramesh Chettuvetty, Vice President of Infineon's RAM Solutions, stated, "As electronic systems continue to proliferate and industry regulations promote the use of high-reliability non-volatile memory in safety airbag, engine control, and battery management systems, the demand for data recording in automotive systems is rapidly growing. The number of applications requiring data logging is on the rise, driving the need for customized storage densities to cater to specific use cases. Infineon is dedicated to assisting customers in flexibly meeting the memory architecture requirements of various system designs."

With a focus on enhanced usability, the EXCELON F-RAM memory devices offer zero-delay write capabilities, ensuring seamless data capture and retention until a predefined triggering event occurs. These devices operate through a serial (SPI/QSPI) interface, spotlighting the energy-efficient attributes of F-RAM memory. Operable within a voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V and encapsulated in a standard 8-pin SOIC package, these devices epitomize both performance and durability.

Furthermore, Infineon's F-RAM memory is designed to transcend the limitations of power loss. It retains data integrity for over a century, reinforcing its role as a steadfast guardian of critical information.

Infineon's latest advancement in memory technology, the 1Mbit Automotive-Grade Serial EXCELON F-RAM Memory, underscores the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and serving as a pioneer in memory solutions that drive the automotive industry forward.
