Dialog Semi to license its CBRAM memory technology to GlobalFoundries

Dialog Semiconductor announced that it has has entered into an agreement with GlobalFoundries in which Dialog licenses its Conductive Bridging RAM (CBRAM) technology to GF. Dialog's RRAM technology was pioneered by Adesto Technologies which was recently acquired by Dialog Semiconductor in 2020.

GF will first offer Dialog’s CBRAM as an embedded, non-volatile memory (NVM) option on its 22FDX platform, with the plan to extend to other platforms. Dialog’s proprietary and production proven CBRAM technology is a low power NVM solution designed to enable a range of applications from IoT and 5G connectivity to artificial intelligence (AI).

Adesto launches a new range of secure RRAM chips for IoT applications

Adesto Technologies announced a new family of ultra-low power serial EEPROM memory based on its CBRAM RRAM technology aimed towards IoT devices. The Mavriq DS (which stands for Digital Security) offers low-power operation, excellent endurance and special security features.

Adesto says that its new chips performs read and write operations with 4x less power than competitive solutions, and, in ultra-deep power down mode, uses as much as 50x less power. DS devices can automatically enter the ultra-deep power down mode following write operations, reducing controller operations and overall system energy. The mavriq DS supports over 100,000 write cycles across the full temperature and voltage range.

Adesto to produce 45-nm CBRAM chips at TPSCo's Japan fab

Adesto Technologies announced that it will start producing 45nm CBRAM chips at TPSCo (TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Company) Japan's 300mm Hokuriku fab. Adesto says that producing at 45nm will enable them to expand their offering and develop new chips that consume even less power than today's CBRAM chips.

Today Adesto manufactures CBRAM chips using a 130nm process at Altis Semiconductor. Adesto estimates that it will take about 2 years to ramp up CBRAM technologies at TPSCo's fab.
