Designed for applications requiring extreme data reliability and speed, Everspin’s 16-Megabit MR4A16BMA35 MRAM benefits system designs with the fastest non-volatile memory on the market, symmetrical read/write performance, and unlimited endurance. These memory features enable Analog Keys musicians to constantly record their artistic audio session for instant replay accessibility and modulation.
The MRAM features allow artists to constantly tweak and re-tweak instantly recorded music, pause and pick up in a recording session for maximum efficiency and artistic flow, and provide the musician piece of mind that a live session of custom voices and step patterns recorded on-the-fly will be safely and deterministically stored in the case of an unexpected power interruption.
“Analog Keys is differentiated in the professional audio market by maximizing customization and instantly capturing an artist’s creativity,” says Scott Emley, Vice President of Everspin Technologies. “Everspin’s MRAM technology is ideal for professional audio applications where MRAM’s high reliability, unlimited endurance, and fastest non-volatile speed provide critical benefits to the musician’s experience.”
“When designing Analog Keys and several other Elektron professional audio products, we required a robust memory solution that could handle high-endurance usage and instant, deterministic write and access capabilities,” says Anders Gärder, Chief Technology Officer at Elektron Music Machines. “Everspin’s MRAM provides these features and system benefits in a single, standard-interface memory solution without the need for any external power sources such as batteries or capacitors.”
Everspin’s 16-Megabit MR4A16BMA35 MRAM is in full production in a standard 48-ball BGA package and is designed to be used in a system like any standard 16-bit parallel memory with no software overhead. Unlike SRAM, Everspin’s MR4A16BMA35 is instantly non-volatile, meaning that the memory bits retain their state even after power is removed and without the need for expensive and cumbersome external power sources.
Everspin Technologies designs and manufactures discrete and embedded Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) and Spin-Torque MRAM (ST-MRAM) into markets and applications where data persistence and integrity, low latency, and security are paramount. With over 40 Million MRAM and ST-MRAM products deployed in data center, cloud storage, energy, industrial, automotive, and transportation markets, Everspin owns more than 500 active patents and applications.
