Microchip Technology through its Silicon Storage Technology (SST) subsidiary, has announced that System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers now have access to SST's unique Smartbit based antifuse One-Time-Programmable (OTP) Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology on the Altis Semiconductor 130 nm and 180 nm RF CMOS platforms. Altis Semiconductor’s cost-effective and proven RF CMOS platform is qualified to automotive standards. SST’s Smartbit OTP technology together with Altis RF CMOS process is ideal for wide temperature ranges and data retention in medical and implantable devices, automotive market applications, mobile and wireless applications and the general Internet of Things (IoT) market.
SST’s SmartBit OTP solution significantly reduces production costs by implementing a high density antifuse technology in standard logic CMOS without additional process steps. The Smartbit bit cell design and unique dynamic-programming technology maximize both device reliability and programming yield while offering faster programming and access time than other OTP technologies.
