SilvoFlashTM refers "Single low voltages Flash, which utilizes the advantages of NOR Flash technology with floating-gate structure to enable Flash operation under a true single low voltage. SilvoFlashTM is an ideal solution for code storage & parameter setting, designed in consideration with power, cost, memory density, and chip size to fit customers' requirements.
SilvoFlashTM Technology's Advantages :
• Low Voltages (Vdd)
- Single low voltages to read cell current
• Ultra Low Power Consumption
- Low Power in Standby Mode
- Low Power in Read Mode (Only needs Vdd in read, no charge pump circuit)
- Low Power in PG/ER Mode (Maximal voltages at 7V in Macro IP)
• High Reliability and Date Retention
Floating gate structure in Flash cell to store charge with high endurance and data retention.
- Endurance > 100K
- Data-retention > 10 years@85°C
• Logic Compatible and Scalable to 28nm
- SilvoFlashTM process is before logic devices, which is easily to make as embedded.
- FG-FG spacing is screened by ground power. No cross coupling issue.
• Cost Effective
- Small bitcell size and macro size
- Less mask layers in embedded Flash
• Small System Footprint
SilvoFlashTM technology makes MCU function with wide range Vdd at 0.9V~1.65V, 1.35V~1.65V, 1.6V~3.6V and etc.. Thus SilvoFlashTM can help to take out some LDO & passive components(resistance, capacitance, diode...) to reduce power consumption and system footprint. Besides, the low Vdd feature of SilvoFlashTM enables MCU operate at 0.9V~1.65V by a single button cell or AAA battery, which make system footprint smaller and then have more elgant/compact product design.
