In an interview with EE Times, Eran Briman, Weebit’s VP of marketing and business development, said this is the third licencing agreement for the company and a significant one revenue-wise. “Onsemi is very strong with power management.”
He added that onsemi’s 65-nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) manufacturing facility in East Fishkill, N.Y., is shipping many different parts, but that one piece that is missing there is an NVM.
ReRAM is not the only NVM that can handle the extremes of automotive, but alternatives like MRAM only make sense at more advanced process nodes. “Nobody’s trying to integrate MRAM into the older process nodes because it’s just too expensive,” Briman said. The materials, equipment and tools necessary do not make it economically feasible for anything like what onsemi is doing at 65 nm.
