Overview
YMC’s embedded MTP IP owns multiple times of program/erase operation,adopting logic-based structure,and easily ported to different technology and process including logic,mixed mode,high voltage, and BCD.The MTP IP possesses byte read / byte write function.It generally is built to higher density IP ranging from 8K bits up to 1M bits.
Ymtp can be a high endurance (program / erase) NVM IP, generally 10K and even up to 100K. It is developed from low density ( 8 bits ) up to middle density ( 16K bits ).
Ymtp also features wide range of read voltage, low to 1.0V (LV).Unlike typical EPROM, Ymtp implements erase function by electrical mechanism internally instead of requiring costly UV(ultraviolet) light. Charge pumping isn’t integrated into IP inside for the purpose of reducing overall IP size. While operating write function, external high voltage supply (Vpp) is needed. The density of Ymtp is lower, ranging from 8 bits up to 1024 bits.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
