How to Achieve Dramatic Area Savings and Power Reduction for Consumer and Secure Applications with Next Generation Embedded Non-Volatile Memory
Overview:

Join this informative technical presentation to learn how the next generation NOVeA® delivers significant area and power reductions to better address advanced consumer and secure applications - manufactured on a standard CMOS logic process.

Threats and damage resulting from security breaches and the need to deploy revenue-generating applications that bring multiple functionalities together are driving changes in the application landscape, and as a result, the requirements of flash controllers are changing to meet the demands of these new applications.

To support the low cost and high performance requirements of today's consumer and secure applications, Virage Logic's NOVeA provides a multi-time programmable embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) which is key in applications such as Flash memory cards, DVD players and recorders, set-top boxes which require sophisticated security and digital rights management (DRM) capabilities. NOVeA is also key in wireless applications such as RFID tags and ZigBee.

Join Virage Logic's NVM IP experts, David Sowards, Virage Logic's Vice President of Non-Volatile Memory Products, and Pat Lasserre, Virage Logic's Director of Product Marketing for Non-Volatile Products, for this informative session. You'll learn:
  • the technical attributes that the next generation of NOVeA offers to help provide developers with more area and power saving features that are important in consumer applications and in passive RFID tags, where the read distance is governed by power consumption
  • how NOVeA's 100 percent cell redundancy architecture helps provide designers with high yield and reliability
  • the applications which are driving the requirement for multi-time programmable embedded non-volatile memory which can be run on a standard CMOS logic process
It's time to invest an hour in your future. Join us for this informative and interactive webinar session to learn how the next generation NOVeA provides NVM solutions that address your key design issues early on. You can't afford not to.
