Everspin Wins $9.25 Million Contract with Frontgrade Technologies

Everspin Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of MRAM persistent memory solutions, announced a contract with Frontgrade Technologies.

Under the contract, Everspin will provide its PERSYST MRAM technology, logic design, and back-end-of-line manufacturing services to advance the development and demonstration of a Strategic Radiation Hardened (SRH) high-reliability eMRAM macro for use in future products by Frontgrade.

“Everspin is pleased to work with Frontgrade on a custom Radiation Hardened Spin Transfer Torque MRAM program,” said Sanjeev Aggarwal, president technologies and CEO, Everspin. “Extending our decade-long relationship to next gen MRAM, this project will expand MRAM’s use and availability to more defense and aerospace radiation-hardened use cases.“

This initiative supports both current and future Department of Defense (DoD) strategic and commercial space system requirements. It will be manufactured using Skywater RH90 CMOS in Bloomington, MN and Everspin’s back-end-of-line MRAM process in Chandler, AZ. The contract allows for phases totaling up to $9.25 million for Everspin over multiple years. The current phase with Everspin is valued at approximately $1.25 million. Upon successful performance of this phase, and at the discretion of the US government, the contract allows for award of future optional phases.
