Owner: MRAN Rev *D Engineering Presentation Tech lead: EWOO 1. PLCs require high-reliability nonvolatile random access memories (NVRAMs) Using BBSRAMs as NVRAMs requires battery backup to store data on power loss Using MRAMs as NVRAMs risks data corruption by magnetic fields generated by motors and solenoids 2. BBSRAM solutions force undesirable tradeoffs Batteries consume board space and require a power-management controller, increasing system cost and complexity Coin-cell batteries have a three-year lifetime, which adds cost by requiring system maintenance and downtime Data is lost if the battery charge is drained before system power is restored, so repairs must be made quickly Batteries contain heavy metals that violate RoHS regulations 3. PLC designers need NVRAMs with fast access times and flexible interface options Low-power asynchronous SRAMs have fast access times (45 ns) but require battery backup to store data on power loss Most NVRAMs do not offer an ONFI Standard interface, making them incompatible with many systems Cypress’s nvSRAM solves all these problems Stores data reliably on power loss without batteries, even in magnetic fields Eliminates the need for an external power-management controller Meets RoHS regulations Provides access times as fast as 20 ns Offers both high-speed asynchronous parallel and ONFI Standard 1.0-compatible interfaces Design Problems Engineers Face 5 Cypress RoHS-compliant nvSRAM is faster, more reliable and less complex than other NVRAM solutions Traditional Approach and Challenges: To present the traditional approach and the challenges engineers will face when using it to realize the Market Vision. Ends with a one-sentence segue clearly stating the benefit of the Cypress solution.
