STMicroelectronics Partners with Kilopass For One-Time Programmable Anti-Fuse NVM Memory
July 11 2017 - 9:00AM
Kilopass Technology Inc., a leading provider of semiconductor logic
embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) intellectual property (IP),
today announced that STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, designed the Kilopass XPM IP one-time
programmable (OTP), anti-fuse, NVM memory into an ADAS
(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) IC. Implemented in the
advanced FinFet process from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Company (TSMC) Limited, the Kilopass XPM IP stores configuration
settings for automotive peripheral sensors.
“We are excited that STMicroelectronics has adopted our
anti-fuse OTP NVM for their ADAS chip,” said Linh Hong, Vice
President and General Manager of the Kilopass OTP Division. “Our
team has worked hard to ensure our IP meets the auto industry’s
stringent ISO/TS 16949, ISO 26262, and AEC-Q100 standards. In
addition, Kilopass’ long and extensive relationship with TSMC has
enabled us to offer our standard logic CMOS OTP NVM anti-fuse
products on every TSMC node from 180nm to today’s leading edge
processes. This availability and history of over 10 billion units
shipped with our IP provides assurance to tier 1 semiconductor
companies like STMicroelectronics that Kilopass will be a capable
and reliable long-term partner.”
“STMicroelectronics’ long history as a supplier to the world’s
tier 1 automotive manufacturers demands a robust supply chain of
semiconductor IP. Any IP suppler we use to construct our
chips must have a solid track record of delivering reliable world
class product,” said Marco Monti, Automotive and Discrete Group
Executive Vice President and General Manager. “Kilopass has the
right product at the process node we needed.”
Kilopass anti-fuse OTP NVM is the ideal solution in these
platform solutions. The memory can contain calibration and
temperature-compensation data for sensors and configuration
information that can be updated and then individually locked to
prevent change or erasure. Implemented in any standard logic
CMOS process, the memory once programmed cannot be altered, nor can
it be hacked by physical (de-caping the chip and examining the die)
or side channel attacks (examining power profile as an indicator of
content).
