Description

Radiation hardened nonvolatile memories for space is still primarily confined to EEPROM. There is no high density effective or cost effective NVM solution available to space electronics designers. DoD, NASA, and DTRA R & D investment funding of CRAM, MRAM, and FRAM at the major players (BAE Systems and Honeywell) over the past 10-15 years have not yet resulted in cost effective, high density, producible available space products. Current space qualified nonvolatile memory densities start from monolithic die of 1 megabit to multiple die modules of up to 20 megabit.
