Overview
The Synopsys Few Time Programmable (FTP) Trim Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) IP provides the capability of reprogrammable NVM in a standard CMOS and Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) processes. Optimized for area and performance, the IP is designed for trim applications requiring post package programming, in-field updates, or calibration at multiple temperatures. The reprogrammable NVM IP enables multiple time programmable (MTP) flexibility in similar overall area to one-time programmable (OTP) solutions and requires no additional masks or processing steps.
Delivered as a hard IP block, the Synopsys FTP Trim NVM IP operates from a single core supply and includes all the necessary support and control circuitry, including all high-voltage generation and distribution required for programming.
The NVM IP reduces test costs and time by up to 3x by increasing the programming speed for special test modes and simplifying the IP complexity. For example, the IP includes bulk operations that enable designers to program the entire array in a single faster operation. In addition, designers can select test conditions and test limits that emulate temperature effects, thereby eliminating the need for testing across temperatures.
Key features
- Zero mask adder, single poly, floating gate, logic-only reprogrammable NVM solution
- 64-bit to 4-Kbit configurations
- Up to 10,000 write cycle endurance
- Up to 15-year data retention at 150°C
- Single core supply operation, uses 3 metal layers
- Silicon-characterized and qualified to meet industry standards
- Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 0 Qualified in select mature BCD process nodes

How to Elevate RRAM and MRAM Design Experience to the Next Level
This article will explore the potential advantages of RRAM and MRAM in various applications and elucidate why such new technologies are imperative to address future memory demands, as well as some challenges designers may encounter in the implementation.
Unleashing EEPROM Potential by Going Embedded: Introducing eMemory's NeoEE
EEPROM memory, which recently celebrated its 50th birthday, continues to defy obsolescence. Despite its age, EEPROM remains a mature, reliable, and affordable technology for many electronic systems. As IC designers embed EEPROM onto chips, it has become an integral part of chip design, offering essential benefits to applications such as MCU, PMIC, sensors, and RFID tags.
Calibrate and Configure your Power Management IC with NVM IP
Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) are the first to turn on and the last to turn off in a system. They perform the task of delivering the right voltage to component chips by regulating or boosting the voltage levels to the component chips.
How eNVM Helps Power Controllers Be Smarter
PMIC designers have learned that using eNVMs like OTP in their chips can be very beneficial. A simple state machine with OTP can store power sequences and parameters, which can help manage the power between ICs efficiently.
NVM memory: A Critical Design Consideration for IoT Applications
The explosion of information that IoT devices will gather will require huge numbers of processors to process and manage the data from these IoT devices along with lots of low-cost, secure and reliable embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) for code storage, sensor trimming, device configuration, security keys and other storage functions. Virtually every one of the projected billions of IoT devices can use some amount of one-time programmable (OTP) memory.
