GlobalFoundries and Microchip Announce Microchip’s 28nm SuperFlash® Embedded Flash Memory Solution in Production
27 Septembre 2023 - 12:03PM
GlobalFoundries (GF) (
Nasdaq: GFS) and Microchip
Technology
(Nasdaq: MCHP), via its
Silicon
Storage Technology (SST) subsidiary, today announces the
immediate release to production of the SST ESF3 third-generation
embedded SuperFlash non-volatile memory (NVM) solution in the GF
28SLPe foundry process.
GF has established a new industry benchmark for
implementing SST’s widely deployed ESF3 SuperFlash technology. This
implementation delivers the following capabilities and
benefits:
- Lowest cost 28nm HKMG ESF3 solution with only 10 masks added,
incl. true 5V IO CMOS devices
- Highly competitive SST ESF3 bitcell size of only 0.04 micron
squared
- Operating temperature rating of -40 degrees C to 125 degrees
C
- Sub-25 nanosecond (ns) read access times, 10 microsecond
program times and 4 millisecond erase times
- Endurance exceeding 100,000 program/erase cycles
- No impact to design flows using GF 28SLPe platform-qualified IP
(EG flow)
- Immediate availability of off-the-shelf macros, from 4 megabits
(Mb) to 32 Mb
- Access to custom macro design support from SST or GF
Use cases for embedded flash are exploding with
the drive for increased intelligence at the edge. Embedded
memory for secure code storage, over-the-air-updates and enhanced
functionality is on the rise in a wide range of applications in
Home and Industrial IoT as well as Smart Mobile Devices. Innovative
platforms are required to meet these needs.
“GF is proud to partner with SST to develop,
qualify, and release to production this impressive embedded NVM
solution on our robust 28SLPe platform,” said Mike Hogan, Chief
Business Unit Officer at GF. “GF’s customers are finding this
combination of high performance, excellent reliability, IP
availability, and cost effectiveness to be ideal for advanced MCUs,
complex smart cards, and IoT chips for consumer and industrial
products.”
“SST and GF have partnered closely over the last
decade to integrate and productize SST’s industry-standard ESF1 and
ESF3 embedded Flash technologies into GF’s 130nm BCD, 55nm, 40nm,
and now 28nm foundry platforms,” added Mark Reiten, vice president
of SST, Microchip’s licensing business unit. “We are excited by the
leadership position GF is establishing for the broadest offering of
embedded NVM solutions and expect our close partnership to deliver
additional breakthroughs over the coming decade.”
SST is exhibiting its embedded Flash technology in
the IP partner area during today’s GF Technology Summit in
Munich.
