Infineon Technologies LLC Memory Solutions, part of Infineon Technologies AG announces the availability of its latest radiation-hardened (rad hard) asynchronous static RAMs.
Designed with Infineon’s patented RADSTOP™ technology, the Infineon radiation-hardened (rad hard) asynchronous static RAMs are designed for use in space and other harsh environment applications where high reliability and performance are critical.
“Radiation effects can cause unavoidable bit errors in SRAMs, and using system-level ECC increases both design complexity and latency,” said Dr. Helmut Puchner, Vice President and Fellow of Aerospace and Defense at Infineon. “Infineon’s RADSTOP asynchronous SRAM memories provide an ultra-reliable single-chip solution that solves these issues and meets the radiation performance requirements of the space industry.”
Infineon’s new rad-hard SRAMs are available in 8-, 16- and 32-bit wide configurations and offer embedded error correction code (ECC) for single-bit error correction. This advanced technology enables the ECC logic to detect and correct single-bit errors in any read data word during the read cycles.
Infineon’s state-of-the-art RADSTOP technology is rad hard through proprietary design and process hardening techniques, meeting all radiation requirements for extreme environments.
The new rad-hard memories are QML-V certified, ensuring the reliability and lifecycle requirements of extreme environments. The devices feature access times down to 10 ns, making them the fastest option available. They also offer the smallest footprint for the highest density and lowest quiescent current. RADSTOP memory solutions extend the computing limits of the overall system, while offering size, weight and power advantages for greater design flexibility.
