Everspin’s extended temperature MRAM products
provide unique high temperature and high
reliability capabilities for rugged system
designs. They also provide endurance for
data storage, while meeting the environmentally
harsh requirements associated with aerospace
applications.
Ångström Aerospace is using Everspin’s
extended temperature range 4Mbit MRAM in
its Tohoku-AAC MEMS Unit (TAMU), a magnetometer
subsystem for the Japanese research satellite
called SpriteSat. Everspin’s 4Mbit MRAM
device replaces both Flash and battery-backed
SRAM in Ångström 's module.
Ångström Aerospace selected Everspin’s
4Mbit MRAM device because it combines non-volatile
memory with extended temperature operation,
unlimited endurance and long-term data retention
even when the power fails. The MRAM stores
program data and FPGA configuration data
on a single memory, allowing Ångström Aerospace
to reduce all storage requirements to one
chip, reducing board area. At the same time,
the flexibility of MRAM storage allows the
system to be reconfigured significantly
in space.
