Memory To Be Installed In Computers On Advanced Wide Body
Aircraft
Everspin Technologies has been
chosen by Airbus to supply high-performance MRAM products for
flight-critical applications on the A350 XWB family of aircraft
currently in development. Everspin claims MRAM’s unique
features allow customers to simplify their system design and
MRAM’s high level of reliability enables operation in extreme
temperature and harsh environmental conditions associated with
avionics and aerospace markets.
Everspin says MRAM memory uses the magnetism of electron spin to
provide non-volatility with no wear-out. Everspin MRAM stores
information in magnetic material integrated with silicon circuitry
to deliver highly reliable non-volatile memory with SRAM-like
speed. This enables a true “instant-on” capability and
power loss protection in many classes of electronic devices over a
wide temperature range and for a variety of applications, including
storage, industrial automation, gaming, energy management,
communications, consumer, transportation and avionics.

4Mb and 16Mb MRAM products will be installed for the Flight
Control Computer on the Airbus A350 XWB civil aircraft. MRAM allows
Airbus to replace previously used SRAM and Flash components with a
single non-volatile read/write memory that provides faster speeds,
unlimited write cycles and easier software updates.
“We are very pleased that Airbus is able to replace
multiple memories with an MRAM in the Flight Control Computers in
its latest generation of advanced aircraft,” said Saied
Tehrani, Everspin’s chief operating officer. “Our MRAM
product reliability, high-speed read and write performance and cost
effectiveness allows us to meet Airbus’ system performance
requirements, as well as their high quality standards.”
