Recent Business Highlights
- After sampling pre-production 256 Mb Spin Torque MRAM chips to over two dozen customer projects, we now have completed our internal qualification ahead of schedule and have released this production ready solution to customers.
- We have begun the process to convert our early sampling activity with customers into design ins and we are already seeing customer traction for these parts, including securing three enterprise storage design ins for our Gen 3 Spin Torque MRAM products.
- Our Gen 1 Toggle MRAM technology was recently selected by a major automotive manufacturer for their in-car infotainment system and emergency call function.
- We introduced our nvNITRO line of storage accelerators based on Gen 3 Spin Torque MRAM products which deliver extremely fast read and write times with ultra-low latency and expect general availability of the cards in the second quarter.
- We strengthened the eco-system for our MRAM products through the addition of Xilinx, a leader in all programmable FPGAs with its UltraScale Memory Interface Generator to support our Gen 3 Spin Torque DDR3 and DDR4 product interfaces.
