SureCore and Intrinsic have announced a collaborative relationship to accelerate time to market for Intrinsic’s innovative, Resistive Random-access Memory (ReRAM) technology. Intrinsic’s ReRAM will address the challenges faced by SoC developers seeking an embedded non-volatile storage solution for 22nm and smaller nodes now that flash is no longer a viable option. The technology has many compelling advantages including flash-like density coupled with SRAM access times. A wide range of applications will be able to benefit from such a solution including automotive, medical, wearables, AI, edge-AI and AIoT.

Paul Wells, CEO of sureCore, explained, “Intrinsic has invented a breakthrough memory technology that will enable developers to exploit the density and performance of more advanced nodes and integrate its scalable non-volatile memory solution. We have years of expertise in optimising on-chip memory with our SureFIT Custom SRAM Design Service that has delivered bespoke optimised memory solutions tailored to meet applications needs. This has included both single instances as well as complete compilers.

“It has been a small step to extend this service to encompass Intrinsic’s ReRAM technology and exploit our design environment to deliver the associated verification and characterisation environments underpinning the value of a compiler. The use of a memory compiler is essential to maximise the commercial potential of a new memory such as ReRAM. We are delighted to be working with a fellow British memory company to help bring their novel memory technology to market. Our unique blend of memory design expertise coupled with our proprietary tool suite enable a fast track to a successful product.”

Mark Dickinson, Intrinsic’s CEO, added, “Underpinning the sureCore sureFIT service is a suite of powerful tools that will enable us to save many years of development effort had we had to create similar solutions from scratch. In addition, sureCore’s tools and techniques have been silicon proven and have been optimised over many years to deliver memories with the lowest possible power consumption and highest density. We are delighted to be able to bring these benefits to bear in the development of our ReRAM products. Both microcontrollers and evolving AI architectures using Intrinsic ReRAM will deliver higher performance at lower power envelopes than those realised using off-chip flash.”
