Applications
Crocus MRAM is ideal for a wide range of applications requiring high reliability, high endurance, high read/write speed, or cost effective non-volatile memory. Crocus’ MRAM technology will be available as both standalone devices and embedded memory solutions.
Embedded Memory
Crocus Thermal Assisted Switching (TAS) MRAM is an excellent replacement for embedded Flash, SRAM, and other NVM technologies in a number of cost sensitive, power sensitive, and performance oriented chip designs such as:
- Microcontrollers
- FPGA
- DSP
Standalone Memory
A growing number of market segments are ideal for Crocus MRAM devices, such as those currently served by battery-backed SRAM, nvSRAM, FeRAM and Flash memories. These market segments include:
Storage
Unlimited endurance, non-volatility, and fast read/write performance of Crocus MRAM are extremely valuable for many storage systems requiring fast and highly repetitive critical data caching. RAID disk arrays, for example, implement a write journal function that takes real-time snapshots of transaction information so that the most recent information can be retrieved in the event of power loss.
Computing
Many single-board computing, industrial computing, medical devices, and other applications require system critical data to be captured into non-volatile memory very quickly and very often. Crocus MRAM is a more reliable and cost-effective solution than other approaches to this type of critical data storage that require batteries, capacitors, or other means.
Industrial Control
The extended operating range and fast read/write performance of Crocus MRAM provides for a more reliable and cost-effective solution than battery backed SRAMs and nvSRAMs used in the rugged environments of many industrial control applications requiring fast data capture during power outages.
Aerospace & Aviation
The environmental challenges of aerospace and aviation applications demand functional operation and reliability requirements, which are largely unavailable with most conventional memory technologies. Crocus MRAMs are excellent solutions for the ruggedness requirements of aerospace and aviation.
