Freescale adds 2Mbit devices to growing MRAM portfolio

Freescale Semiconductor, has introduced a series of 2Mbit magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) devices, providing designers a broader portfolio of MRAM products for a range of commercial, industrial and automotive applications. The 2Mbit MRAM replaces two current 1Mbit nvRAM parts with a single device designed to help reduce system cost and board area.

Commercial, industrial and extended temperature range options available for 2Mbit MRAM product offering

The 2Mbit devices round out Freescale's award-winning MRAM family of products with a choice of commercial, industrial and extended temperature ranges (operating from -40o to 105oC). MRAM devices are well-suited for a variety of applications, such as networking, security, data storage, gaming and printers. The extended temperature version is suitable for use in rugged application environments, such as military, aerospace and automotive designs.

MRAM uses magnetic materials combined with conventional silicon circuitry to deliver the speed of SRAM with the non-volatility of flash in a single, unlimited-endurance device. MRAM devices offer industry-leading price/performance within the high-density non-volatile RAM market and can be used in applications that require speed, endurance and non-volatility.
