Novocell Semiconductor – OTP Memory Specialists

NovoBlox OTP Memory NovoBlox® OTP Memory IP significantly reduces costs by implementing highly reliable antifuse technology in standard logic CMOS without additional process steps.

NovoBlox avoids the data retention issues associated with floating gate designs with their OTP memory products. Unlike polysilicon or laser fuses, it is possible to route over NovoBlox, consuming no additional chip area.

The programming process contains the breakdown voltage entirely within the memory core and supports programming at wafer, in package, or in circuit.
