Infineon Technology Co., Ltd. has launched the industry's first LP DDR flash memory, helping to build the next generation automotive electronic and electrical (E/E) architecture. Infineon SEMPER ™ X1 LPDDR flash memory provides crucial security, reliability, and real-time code execution for automotive domain and regional controllers. The performance of this device is 8 times that of current NOR flash memory, and the random read transaction speed of real-time applications has increased by 20 times. This enables software defined vehicles to have advanced features that enhance safety and architectural flexibility.
Infineon Technology Co., Ltd. (FSE code: IFX/OTCQX code: IFNNY) has launched the industry's first LPDDR flash memory, helping to build the next generation automotive electronic and electrical (E/E) architecture. Infineon SEMPER ™ X1 LPDDR flash memory provides crucial security, reliability, and real-time code execution for automotive domain and regional controllers. The performance of this device is 8 times that of current NOR flash memory, and the random read transaction speed of real-time applications has increased by 20 times. This enables software defined vehicles to have advanced features that enhance safety and architectural flexibility.
The next generation of automobiles is more intelligent, more networked, and more complex, and has higher requirements for safety and reliability, which need to be realized by using advanced multi-core processor developed with advanced manufacturing processes. On these advanced nodes, high-density embedded nonvolatile memory is no longer a feasible cost choice, and system architects need to consider using external NORs for code storage. However, these complex automotive real-time processors require higher performance than existing memory on the market. To meet this requirement, Infineon has developed SEMPER X1, with its LPDDR4 interface supporting a speed of 3.2 GB/s and adopting a multi-channel architecture that can meet the performance and density requirements of domain and regional controllers.
Jim Handy, General Manager of Objective Analysis, a semiconductor market research company, stated: "With the rapid development of semi autonomous vehicle, engine control has become more sophisticated, and real-time decision-making ability is crucial to ensure the safety of vehicles and drivers. Infineon LPDDR flash memory provides real-time Xip memory, which can be expanded independently of the processor, and can effectively meet the needs of the next generation of vehicles. I am very optimistic about this new type of non-volatile memory, and look forward to seeing the ecosystem in this field flourish."
Sandeep Krishnegowda, Vice President of Marketing and Applications for Flash Solutions at Infineon Technology, said, "We are pleased to launch SEMPER X1 LPDDR flash memory, providing real-time, secure, and reliable flash solutions for regional controllers. As a leader in the NOR flash automotive memory market, we are pleased to work with industry partners to promote standardization of storage and allow storage to enter a broader market
