Overview
Weebit ReRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) is an innovative Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology that can be easily integrated into any CMOS IC.
It is a high-performance and very low-power NVM, achieving 10K programming cycles and 10 years’ retention at high temperatures.
The technology is available in DB HiTek 130nm BCD process, tested on silicon, and ready for integration in user SoCs. The Weebit ReRAM IP module is provided in a wide range of features and can be customized per customers’ needs.
DB HiTek 130nm BCDMOS Process
Based in Korea, DB HiTek is a specialized foundry with leading analog and power semiconductor technology. Its technologies run in high volume and at world-class quality levels, as demonstrated by the company’s numerous quality-driven certifications. The company’s 130nm (0.13μm) BCDMOS (Bipolar CMOS-DMOS) process is optimized to increase power efficiency and low-power performance for analog, mixed-signal, and power management designs.
DB HiTek’s 130nm technology node supports up to 120V BCDMOS in addition to CMOS 1.5V and 5V devices. It supports up to six aluminum metal layers and is mixed-signal enabled. It offers a variety of CMOS thresholds to optimize for power and performance.

ReRAM-Powered Edge AI: A Game-Changer for Energy Efficiency, Cost, and Security
In AI inference, trained models apply their knowledge to make predictions and decisions. To achieve lower latency and better security, the world is transitioning steadily towards performing AI inference at the edge – without sending data back and forth to the cloud – for a wide range of applications.
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.
Allowing server-class storage in embedded applications
In this article, a new way to implement high performance data storage is presented, allowing the use of server-class storage technology in an embedded environment.
NVMe IP for Enterprise SSD
Most of SSD manufacturers jumped into this new storage market with flash-based technology. A second wave of products will come in the near future, using a new generation of non-volatile memories, delivering impressive speed performances compared to NandFlash memories. The SSD manufacturers will have to deal with low latency SSD controller design in order to benefit from the new NVM features, while keeping high reliability and low power consumption.
This white paper proposes a solution based on a full hardware NVMe implementation, describing its architecture, implementation and characterization.
