Infineon unveils 256 Mbit SEMPER Nano NOR Flash memory

Infineon Technologies has launched the SEMPER Nano NOR Flash memory optimised for battery-powered, small-form-factor electronic devices.

Emerging wearable and industrial applications are able to do more by using precision tracking, critical information logging, enhanced security, and noise cancellation, but these advanced capabilities and use cases also need more memory in less space.

With growing demand for more memory, designers face additional challenges of limited board space and maximum battery life. The SEMPER Nano NOR Flash is the first of its kind to deliver a solution that combines both high density, small footprint and industry-leading low power, along with robust engineering and design support.

Available in 256 Mbit 1.8 V configurations and both industrial and commercial grades, Infineon’s SEMPER Nano NOR Flash delivers 40 Mbyte/s SPI throughput and achieves industry-leading stand-by and active currents.

Built-in error correction code (ECC) enhances reliability, and a configurable sector architecture allows optimisation for code or data storage.

The family of devices is fully supported by SEMPER Solutions Hub, a one-stop portal with all the building blocks required to integrate SEMPER Nano NOR Flash into an application. The software, tools and resources simplify the overall design process and help designers bring products to market faster.

A new SEMPER Nano Pmod-compatible memory module is available to easily assemble hardware development platforms.
