Cypress offers the industry’s highest performance, most secure, low-pin-count Serial NOR Flash Memory. Our broad portfolio makes it easy to find the ideal solution for your embedded system. The industry standard Quad SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) interface is simple to use and is supported by virtually all modern chipsets. NOR Flash is the ideal memory for code storage in embedded systems due to its fast random read performance. This performance also supports XIP (eXecute In Place) functionality which allows host controllers to execute code directly from the NOR Flash Memory without needing to first copy the code to a RAM.
Higher levels of Serial NOR Memory performance have enabled XIP to be used on a wide variety of designs in many applications. Cypress offers the widest range of AEC-Q100-qualified Serial NOR Flash Memory with support for temperatures up to +125°C. PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) support is available for automotive customers. Cypress complements all its products with world class quality and support. Serial NOR Flash Technology MirrorBit®: The Industry's Most Advanced NOR Flash Technology MirrorBit is the world’s most advanced NOR Flash process technology and is optimal for high densities.
LC W25Q series memory modules equipped with Win bond W25Q series storage chip that can provide single / dual / quad-channel SPI input and output format, the capacity. Winbond Electronics Corporation, a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for the consumer, computer and communications and electronics product markets, offers.
MirrorBit stores two bits per cell which enables the highest density Serial NOR Flash Memory. Cypress is the only supplier that offers MirrorBit as well as a portfolio of industry standard Floating Gate based NOR Flash Memory. The automotive infotainment system integrates the automotive navigation systems and entertainment systems and allows both systems to access the vehicle’s audio system and displays. This allows the navigation system to interrupt the entertainment system and communicate important driver information, like directions or traffic information, without the driver needing to intervene. These systems use nonvolatile memory to store settings, status, and navigation data on power loss. Cypress Serial NOR Flash devices suite this application perfectly given they feature cyclic redundancy checks (CRC) and error correcting code (ECC) to ensure data reliability and have the high endurance required for frequent writes over the product lifespan.
In addition, they provide high performance with low pin count and small packages to meet compact size requirements. Automotive manufacturers require AEC-Q100 qualified nonvolatile memories, which Cypress provides with Automotive Serial NOR Flash offerings. Infotainment System Design Challenges The Cypress Serial NOR Flash Solution High-reliability nonvolatile storage Built in CRC and ECC for high-reliability storage High-endurance for the Automobile’s lifetime Up to 20+ years data retention High-performance with reduced pin-count DDR SPI and Quad I/O with only six active pins Design with AEC-Q100-qualified components Provides AEC-Q100-qualified memory components Suggested Datasheets: • • • • Suggested Application Notes: • Block Diagram. Automotive clusters provide drivers a centralized and easily viewable location for displaying all critical automobile information. Thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD panels and Heads-up displays have become the dominant choice for displaying high performance graphics that provide real time information to the driver inside his immediate field of view for added safety. Cypress Serial NOR Flash solutions enable automotive clusters with high read bandwidth for program execution to ensure the system can bootup quickly, a wide range of densities that support various sizes of TFT LCDs, and high-reliability for data storage to enable vital cluster operations. Cypress’s NOR Flash solutions are AEC-Q100 Grade 1 to 3 qualified to meet automotive standards for a wide operating temperature range.
