Avalanche Enhanced MRAM Product Family for Space and Defense

Avalanche Technology announced the rollout of a new enhanced discrete product family called ‘Space Grade-E’.

Responding to demand from the Aerospace and Defense community for its Gen 3 high density, high reliability MRAM solutions to solve decades-old system-level challenges, it continues to strengthen its position with scalability in support of diverse mission requirements. Building on the company’s LEO-targeted Space Grade product line, the enhanced Space Grade-E device family allows pin compatible scalability to MEO, GEO, and beyond.

Sampling, this Space Grade-E family offers an enhanced qualification and screening flow above the Space Grade family while leveraging the same key ingredients for success:

Reliability
Density
Write cycle endurance
Power for SWaP-optimized systems where data integrity is essential.

Offered in both Parallel and Dual QSPI interface types, the enhanced specs of the Space Grade-E family include a boost in radiation tolerance specs and burn in hours for improved reliability.

Both Space Grade and Space Grade-E families will maintain pin-compatible migration (by interface type) amongst and between them, providing a software-defined hardware platform for evolving mission requirements. These 2 product families further buttress the recently communicated focus areas, including efficient and reliable boot of advanced SoCs and FPGAs with in-situ multi-mission adaptability and reliable data storage.

“The decades-long gap in NVM solutions with sufficient density, reliability and radiation resilience was so significant that our disruptive Gen 3 products are responsible for changing the conversation throughout the industry from ‘What incremental improvement can we hope to make?’ to ‘What can’t we do now?’“, said Danny Sabour, VP, sales and marketing, Avalanche. “Our modular architecture allows us to rapidly roll out new product variations to meet evolving needs, leveraging proven platforms.“

Gen 3 Space Grade and Space Grade-E MRAM
The Gen 3 Space Grade and now Space Grade-E are offered as a standard product in Parallel with asynchronous SRAM-compatible timing and Dual QSPI high speed serial interface in various pin compatible density options from 1 to 8Gb.

Designed for High-Reliability with multibit error correction and industry leading 10^16 write cycle endurance, data is always non-volatile.

The devices are offered in small footprint packaging (RoHS-compliant and leaded) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) with JEDEC qualification. There are additional qualification screening and packaging options available through partners.
