Non-volatile SRAM

9 November 2016 DSP, Micros & Memory

From Microchip comes a new low-cost, low-risk memory solution offering unlimited endurance and safe data storage at power loss. This new I²C EERAM memory is an easy to implement, non-volatile SRAM (NVSRAM) that is ideal for applications that need to constantly or instantaneously record, update or monitor data in sectors which include metering, automotive and industrial. EERAM is a standalone SRAM with shadow EEPROM backup on a single chip that helps to automatically retain the contents of the SRAM memory when system power is lost. The EERAM offers instant random writes to the array with no write-cycle delay. The chips are available in 4 Kb and 16 Kb densities and with 3,0 V or 5,0 V options, in standard 8-pin SOIC, TSSOP and PDIP packages.
