Infineon Offers Industry's First LPDDR Flash Memory

Infineon Technologies has launched the industry's first LPDDR Flash memory to enable next-generation automotive E/E architectures. The Infineon SEMPER X1 LPDDR Flash provides secure, reliable, real-time code execution essential for automotive domain and zone controllers.

The new device offers eight times the performance of current NOR Flash memories and achieves 20 times faster random read transactions for real-time applications. This enables software-defined vehicles to provide advanced capabilities with enhanced safety and architectural flexibility.

Increased intelligence, connectivity and complexity, along with security and reliability requirements, drive next-generation vehicles to feature cutting-edge multi-core processors developed in advanced manufacturing processes.

“We are excited about the launch of SEMPER “As the market leader in automotive NOR Flash memory, we are excited to collaborate with industry partners to drive memory standardization and bring it to broader markets.”

Higher density embedded non-volatile memories are no longer a viable cost option in these advanced nodes, and system architects need to consider using external NOR for code storage. However, these complex real-time automotive processors require more performance than current commercially available memories.

To meet this need, Infineon developed the SEMPER X1 with an LPDDR4 interface operating at 3.2 GBytes/s and a multi-bank architecture to meet the performance and density requirements of domain and zone controllers.

“With the trend toward semi-autonomous vehicles and more sophisticated engine control, real-time decisions are critical to vehicle and driver reliability and safety,” said Jim Handy, managing director at semiconductor market research firm Objective Analysis. . “Infineon’s LPDDR Flash memory should meet these needs well in next-generation vehicles by providing real-time execution-in-place (XiP) memory and allowing it to scale independently of the processor. I applaud this new category of non-volatile memory and look forward to seeing the ecosystem develop in this space.”
