Cypress Semiconductor Corp. introduced 2-Mbit and 8-Mbit non-volatile static random access memories (nvSRAMs), extending Cypress's nvSRAM portfolio from 16-Kbit to 8-Mbit. The new devices feature access times as low as 20 ns, infinite read, write and recall cycles, and 20-year data retention. They offer the best solution for applications requiring continuous high-speed writing of data and absolute non-volatile data security. Systems requiring nvSRAM functionality include servers, RAID applications, harsh-environment industrial controls, automotive, medical and data communications.
