Aplus' offering of
combination Flash + EEPROM IP gives customers flexible embedded non-volatile
memory solutions for applications needing various density in-system reprogrammability,
and is suitable for a wide range of applications including toys, control
systems and consumer appliances. In particular, the embedded IP is good
for 18-pin or 8-pin 8-bit microcontrollers and 8-pin or 26-pin 16-bit
microcontrollers with Flash + EEPROM + SRAM, or also for microcontrollers
with a customized number of pins.
The SRAM is also 100% non-volatile memory compatible and is not generated
from a memory compiler, for further cost-effectiveness. With Aplus' proprietary
design technology, many of the data buses and address buses can be shared
between the volatile and non-volatile memory to increase die and cost
efficiency.
With many more embedded NVM IPs available and next generation Flash technology
under development, Aplus is firmly establishing itself as a premier NVM
IP design company (ROM, OTP, NTP, EEPROM, Flash, Flash+EEPROM) and memory
provider. Aplus offers proven, experienced designs that can be customized
to fit each customer's needs with quick turnaround and manufacturing flexibility
and capacity.
