Our serial EERAM is an innovative and low-cost SRAM product that includes a nonvolatile memory backup for use in automotive systems that need to preserve and quickly restore data after a loss of power. During any power disruption, the active SRAM array content is moved to the device’s nonvolatile bits. When power is restored, the nonvolatile content is automatically copied back to the SRAM array so that operation can continue. EERAM offers unlimited SRAM read and write cycles and more than 1,000,000 backups to the nonvolatile cells. As with all our automotive-grade memory devices, our automotive serial EERAM devices are AEC-Q100 qualified and ISO/TS16949 compliant to meet the rigorous quality, reliability and long product lifecycle requirements of automotive designers.
