Novocell Semiconductor announces expansion of the firm’s OTP NVM product line


Product expansion, innovation, and rebranding characterize suite of Novocell OTP NVM products to serve SoC and fabless firms

July 5, 2012 - Hermitage, PA   Novocell Semiconductor, Inc., the leading innovator in embedded, high reliability one-time programmable (OTP) antifuse non-volatile memory (NVM), has announced an expansion of their immediately available intellectual property (IP) product line.  As the semiconductor market has continued to evolve, differentiated requirements for highly reliable memory storage have grown in such segments as wireless handheld communications, mobile and tablet computing, global positioning system (GPS) equipment, integrated automotive sensing, monitoring, communications and entertainment, and industrial automation and controls, security and encryption, and military and aerospace applications.

“Our core antifuse-based OTP Smartbit™ technology was first patented in 2001 and 2002, and created a solid foundation for our first ten years,” stated Walt Novosel, President and CTO, “Since then, our customer-driven focus has led to numerous innovations in our original high reliability Smartbit-based NVM IP to best service specific system on chip (SoC) market segments. Our announcement today unveils our full line of NVM products to fully serve our customers’ needs, from 8bit register OTP, to specialty trimming and calibration OTP, to 4Mbit ultra-high density code storage and configuration OTP, to 1000x multi-time write hybrid OTP/MTP.” All Novocell products continue to be based on the fundamental Smartbit technology, and provide the highest level of programming and storage reliability and security available in the OTP segment, particularly at low power, advanced process nodes.

Novocell Smartbit™ OTP Memory IP significantly reduces costs by implementing highly reliable antifuse technology in standard logic CMOS, without additional process steps.

The entire Smartbit-based OTP family avoids the data retention issues associated with floating gate memory. Unlike polysilicon or laser fuses, it is possible to route over Novobits, NovoBytes and NovoHD, thus consuming no additional chip area.

With the Novocell Smartbit design, our anti-fuse oxide breakdown high voltage is contained entirely within the bit cell itself, and supports programming at wafer, in package, or in circuit.
