Magnachip EEPROM cell targets low-power processes
Magnachip Semiconductor
0.18um embedded EEPROM cell
Magnachip's 0.18um embedded EEPROM cell is compatible with generic, low-power and ultra-low-power processes at voltage levels including 1.8, 1.8+3.3V and 1.8+5.0V, for a range of applications.
The product has been achieved by adopting the SSTC cell structure (side-wall selective transistor cell) rather than the conventional two-transistor or split-gate type cell structure.
Magnachip's EEPROM process also achieves advanced reliability characteristics with more than 30 years of data retention capability after 300,000 pre-cycles combined with an endurance of over 300,000 cycles.
A group of EEPROM Macro IP ranging from 1 to 128Kb is currently available and supported by Wingcore, a third-party partner of Magnachip.
These macros provide 30nsec access and 5msec write times within a -40C to 125C temperature range.
