Synopsys DesignWare® AEON® Multiple-Time Programmable (MTP) EEPROM Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) IP delivers EEPROM-level performance in standard CMOS processes. Supporting up to 8 kbits and optimized for high write cycle endurance, the EEPROM NVM IP block is available in a wide range of process nodes from 250-nm to 40-nm. The IP supports up to 1,000,000 write cycles and has been qualified to automotive level standards in select process nodes. Delivered as a hard IP block with all the necessary high voltage and control circuitry included, the AEON MTP EEPROM NVM IP is available in advanced, high-voltage, and analog/mixed signal nodes.
Advanced Nodes • Support for 65-, 55- and 40-nm standard CMOS processes
• Operation from single core voltage supply
• >10,000 write cycle endurance
• Integrated Error Checking and Correction (ECC) functionality
• Used in wireless ICs (Bluetooth, digital radio, NFC) and SoCs to store user configuration, calibration and security data
