EERAM Memory Solutions Reduce Memory Costs and Retain Data at Power Loss

This is a submission from Microchip on a new family of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) EERAM memory products that offers system designers up to 25 percent cost savings over the current serial Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) alternatives. The family introduces four reliable SPI densities to Microchip’s EERAM portfolio, ranging from 64 Kb up to 1 Mb.

You can almost hear them think in Microchip’s New Products kitchen: what if we put SRAM and EEPROM on one chip? What would you get? Interesting texture? Exciting flavour? What the heck, lets just do it. Sometimes experiments like this turn out bad, but not this time. The result is EERAM, the cheapest non-volatile SRAM technology currently on the market. No external power needed to keep the contents alive, combined with unlimited writing.
