NVM IP is 75% smaller than alternatives & reduces test times by 3X
Claiming to be up to 75% smaller than alternative NVM IP solutions, the DesignWare AEON Trim NVM IP for high-voltage processes has been launched by Synopsys. Faster programming times reduce NVM test times by 3X compared to alternative NVM solutions, enabling designers to reduce production test times and minimize test costs for automotive and industrial ICs.
Available in standard 180nm 5V CMOS and Bipolar CMOS DMOS (BCD) processes without a need for additional masks or process steps, the DesignWare NVM IP supports the wide temperature range required for automotive Grade 0 applications and exceeds AEC-Q100 quality standards.
The DesignWare AEON Trim NVM IP for high-voltage processes includes special test modes that increase programming speed and reduce test costs and time by up to 3X. For example, the IP includes bulk operations that enable designers to program the entire array in a single, faster operation. In addition, designers can select test conditions and test limits that emulate temperature effects, thereby eliminating the need for testing across temperature.
With the growth in the automotive IC market, designers need to meet the quality and reliability criteria established for the extreme environment under the hood of a car while respecting the cost and size parameters of even the smallest ICs. With its Grade 0 temperature range and 15+ year data retention capabilities, the DesignWare AEON Trim NVM IP for high-voltage processes enables designers to implement their ICs in applications with harsher and safety-critical environments.
"ZMDI's robust AEC-Q100-certified ICs provide advanced sensor-signal conditioning and configurability, and integrating the DesignWare AEON Trim NVM IP will help to ensure high data retention and reliability while minimizing area and test times," said Dr. Michael J. Ohletz, executive vice president, global and strategic quality at ZMDI. "Designers selecting components for demanding and harsh under-the-hood automotive environments look for proven IP solutions that can reliably perform crucial safety functions for 15 or more years. ZMDI selected Synopsys NVM IP because the IP met our rigid specifications and because of our shared commitment to producing reliable, high-quality products."
DesignWare AEON Trim NVM IP for high-voltage processes is available now in leading 180 nm 5V CMOS and BCD processes.
