2 Owner: VBHU Cypress Confidential Sales Training 03/15/2013 Everspin MR4A16B Overview Everspin MR4A16B is a 16Mb (1Mb x 16) parallel MRAM device featuring: Unlimited read/write endurance Data retention for >20 years without backup cycle Functional equivalence to Asynchronous SRAM Automotive - AEC-Q100 Grade 1 option in TSOP2 package 48 FBGA package and access speed of 35 ns No battery assembly, reliability, or liability issues Everspin MR4A16B finds applications in: Industrial Controllers (Programmable Logic Controller) High-End Servers and Storage Systems Routers and Switches Industrial Automation Aerospace Automotive Everspin MR4A16B is the 1 st product to market with the highest density 16 Mb parallel non-volatile solution. Everspin MR4A16B

3 Owner: VBHU Cypress Confidential Sales Training 03/15/2013 Challenges using Everspin MR4A16B 1. MRAM is vulnerable when exposed to external magnetic field Data corruption in the write cycle and soft errors in the read cycle Reference bits are flipped hard resulting in permanent non-functionality of the entire memory 2. High operating current and standby current with low access speed High end devices like PLC, servers and gaming machines require operation at high speeds and low currents Everspin MR4A16B has a poor access speed of 35 ns High operating current (Icc– ns) and high standby current (Isb–9 mA) 3. Everspin is a fabless startup company that is financially weak Limited supply having shipped only ~5 million units till date with lead times of 8 to 10 weeks Issues regarding long term support and future roadmaps 16 Mb parallel NVSRAM solves these problems Immune to external magnetic field as NVSRAM is based on secure SONOS technology Provides an access speed of 25 ns with an operating current of 90 mA and standby current of 0.5 mA Assured Supply & Customer Support: Long-term supplier with over 20 years of supplying Concrete past (shipped more than 150 million units) and clear future roadmap to build 32 Mb density parallel NVSRAM after 16 Mb is in production 16 Mb parallel NVSRAM is a fast and reliable product with a stable supply and long term support from Cypress Gaming Machine External magnetic field can corrupt the critical data which can create issues in the transaction process

5 Owner: VBHU Cypress Confidential Sales Training 03/15/2013 “16Mb NVSRAM uses an additional capacitor for Vcap to perform Autostore operation which consumes extra board space” The capacitor is very small in size with the required capacitance of only 27 µF (typical) and max 120 µF 16Mb NVSRAM comes with an embedded RTC (watchdog timer, alarm, clock) which is not available in MRAM which actually saves more board space. 16Mb NVSRAM + capacitor costs less than 16Mb MRAM “MR4A16B has ECC functionality in it” ECC identifies soft memory bit errors which are the errors primarily resulting from an MRAM bit not being correctly programmed. The errors are identified and corrected during a read or a write cycle. 16Mb parallel NVSRAM doesn’t generate memory bit errors during a read or write cycle so there is no need for ECC in it. Customer objections to adopting 16Mb NVSRAM over Everspin MR4A16B

6 Owner: VBHU Cypress Confidential Sales Training 03/15/2013 Sales Cautions for 16Mb NVSRAM Automotive grade option not available 16Mb parallel NVSRAM can’t serve automotive market segments at present 48 FBGA package option missing Not a direct replacement for the accounts served by 48 FBGA package
