Cypress Semiconductor NVSRAMs to be used in Aclara Technologies' residential utility meter
Cypress Semiconductor
Cypress Semiconductor has announced that Aclara Technologies has selected its serial non-volatile static random access memories (NVSRAMs) with an SPI interface for the new UMT-R residential utility meter, which is designed for use in metering, industrial and automotive applications.
Cypress’s NVSRAMs are manufactured on its S8 0.13μm SONOS (silicon oxide nitride oxide silicon) embedded non-volatile memory technology, enabling high reliability and improved performance, according to the company.
NVSRAMs are suitable for applications requiring absolute non-volatile data security such as electronic smart meters, PLCs, motor drives, electronic data recorders in automobiles, RAID systems, SSD systems, internet routers/switches and consumer, medical and data communication systems.
