Novocell Semiconductor – OTP Memory Specialists
SmartBit® based OTP Memory IP significantly reduces costs by implementing highly reliable antifuse technology in standard logic CMOS without additional process steps.
Novocell's SmartBit bit cell technology avoids the data retention issues associated with floating gate designs with their OTP memory products. Unlike polysilicon (polyfuse) or laser fuses (e-fuse), it is possible to route over SmartBit-based NVM IP, therefore 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.
