FeRAM-Enabled Anti-Counterfeit Authentication

Counterfeit products pose health and safety threats but also impact the economic growth of legitimate businesses. Traditional digital authentication via challenge–response with stored keys is increasingly susceptible to key leakage and cloning.

Together with Ramxeed, we have outlined a FeRAM-based, encryption-less authentication (“spectral authentication”) approach that leverages the intrinsic analog pulsation signature generated during FeRAM switching.

Embracing the Shift from DDR3/DDR4 to Next-Gen Memory

On September 10, we held a webinar focused on the current transition in the memory market: the transition from legacy nodes, such as DDR3 and DDR4, towards newer technologies is happening at a pace previously unthinkable.

Staying on top of the developments has never been more critical. In our webinar, we provided strategic insights and technical analysis to guide you through these transitions. The replay is available now!

3 Edge AI Architectures That Demand Smarter Memory—and Why?

As AI is shifting from hyperscalers in data centers to the edge, the need for memory is changing. In this article for Wevolver, we explore how three edge AI architectures; robotics, system-on-modules (SoMs), and medical devices, are driving this shift, and how MRAM and FeRAM are enabling smarter, more resilient memory at the edge.

DDR4: Impossible to Ignore and Impossible to Get?

When you look at the news, it seems that DDR4 is everywhere. Hardly a day or week goes by without updates about price hikes, supply concerns, or speculation about whether or not the big manufacturers will exit from their DDR4 exit.

You will find some of them in this newsletter edition, to keep you up to date.

Back to work - Back to Memory

It’s still summer, but we’re entering the final stretch of the year. And while we hope you all had the opportunity to take some time off and wind down a bit, we hate to remind you of the harsh reality our market is currently in.

The dramatic cut down in DDR4 production is shaking up the market. But fear not, we show you how to navigate through this time in our next webinar on September 10.

At the same time, memory is evolving - we take a look at DDR6 and SOCAMM, the potential of MRAM and FeRAM for Edge AI, as well as DRAM scaling, and a new approach to in-NAND encryption.

DDR6: The Next Evolution in High-Performance Memory Technology

As DDR5 adoption matures, the industry is preparing for DDR6, the sixth generation of Double Data Rate Synchronous DRAM. Expected to enter production in late 2025 or early 2026, DDR6 promises to redefine performance benchmarks across artificial intelligence (AI), cloud infrastructure, high-performance gaming, and enterprise workloads.

Our product marketing team has synthesized available draft specifications, as well as insights from vendors and the JEDEC working group, to provide a comprehensive overview of DDR6 development timelines, architectural innovations, comparative performance metrics, and market adoption trends.

FeRAM for Memory-Critical Fire & Gas Suppression Systems

As fire suppression and safety systems evolve toward greater intelligence and autonomy, memory components play a central role in ensuring system reliability, data integrity, and real-time responsiveness.

This paper explores Ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM) as an advanced non-volatile memory (NVM) technology for such systems. It provides a comparative analysis with other mainstream memory technologies like EEPROM, Flash, MRAM, SRAM, and DRAM, and defines the Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) attributes required in the context of fire suppression, especially gas-based suppression systems, which demand the highest reliability and compliance.

Smarter Smart Meter and Edge-AI Data Logger Design with MRAM

Smart meters and AI-based edge data loggers enable accurate, real-time monitoring of energy consumption and industrial parameters. They continuously record data, transmit it wirelessly, and support over-the-air (OTA) updates. The memory embedded in these devices must offer not only non-volatility and fast access but also be highly durable. MRAM addresses these demands more effectively than traditional options.

Smart City Air Quality Monitoring

Urbanization, climate change, and industrialization have significantly impacted air quality, elevating the urgency for intelligent, distributed monitoring systems. We have created a new paper outlining an architecture that elevates air quality monitoring from raw data acquisition to actionable insights. To achieve this, edge-intelligent nodes are needed that integrate optical sensing, embedded AI inference, and non-volatile memory (NVRAM) technologies—specifically Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) and Ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM).
