Two Development Kits From Avalanche Technology: P-SRAM Serial QSPI and P-SRAM Parallel Interface

Avalanche Technology announced 2 development kits, the P-SRAM (Persistent SRAM) Serial QSPI Evaluation Kit and the P-SRAM Parallel Interface Evaluation Kit.

P-SRAM Serial QSPI evaluation kit

These kits are rapid prototyping platforms consisting of 1) a host board, and 2) a UNO R3 form factor daughter card with the company’s P-SRAM, which designers can use to develop Industry 4.0 applications that require data logging or program storage.

The P-SRAM Serial QSPI evaluation kit enables system designers to evaluate the firm’s Serial High Performance P-SRAM using a STMicro Nucleo motherboard connected to an Avalanche daughter card via the standard QSPI interface. The STMicro NUCLEO-H743ZI2 motherboard communicates with the computer using a USB 2.0 cable type A/B and terminal emulator software using the company’s software application.

The Avalanche daughter card is populated with an AS3016204 performance P-SRAM device. The P-SRAM is STT-MRAM (Spin Transfer Torque MRAM) offered in 1Mb to 16Mb density options, and is a non-volatile RAM, for applications that must store and retrieve data without incurring large latency penalties. These devices offer low power, and virtually infinite endurance and retention. They are available in standard small-footprint packages that are for form-factor-constrained IoT applications as well as Industry 4.0 applications for non-volatile memories.

The P-SRAM Parallel Interface Evaluation Kit is based on the STMicro Nucleo-F746ZG motherboard that communicates with the included Avalanche daughter card through a standard asynchronous SRAM interface. The motherboard communicates with the computer using a USB 2.0 cable type A/B and terminal emulator software using the company’s software application. The daughter card is populated with the AS3016316-035 P-SRAM device. The Parallel P-SRAM is also based on the same highly reliable, non-volatile STT-MRAM technology and is available in 1Mb/32Mb density options. These devices come with a standard 35-nanosecond asynchronous SRAM interface and offer low power, and virtually infinite endurance and retention. These devices are for non-volatile memory applications such as program storage and data logging in factory automation, motor control, human machine interfaces, smart meters, and multi-function printers.

P-SRAM Serial QSPI Evaluation Kit and P-SRAM Parallel Interface Evaluation Kit are available. System designers can order these kits at company website.
