First-ever high-performance, low-power 32-bit microcontrollers with embedded nanocrystal flash and enhanced EEPROM memories

Impact of endurance degradation on the programming efficiency and the energy consumption of NOR flash memories

“…At the same time the customers more and more ask for better performance and reliability. Several studies are presented in literature concerning the good endurance and in particular, the very low energy consumption of different architectures of flash nonvolatile memories [7,8]. Nevertheless, no works on the impact of cell aging on the energy consumption have already been published to our knowledge.…”

A 55-nm, 0.86-Volt operation, 75MHz high speed, 96uA/MHz low power, wide voltage supply range 2M-bit split-gate embedded Flash

“…In [1], [2], strong growth either in automotive, industrial and commercial markets is predicted. The split-gate cell has merits of low cost per bit, fast code execution, and a better candidate for automotive application [1], but few papers introduce eFlash design to respond its strong growth and attention [3]. In this work, firstly a 2-Mbit, split-gate eFlash IP was fabricated by tsmc's 55-nm low-power (LP) process.…”
