TITLE: Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM)

Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM)  device  is  now  in
volume production and available from Freescale Semiconductor. The
4-Mbit MRAM uses magnetic materials  combined  with  conventional
silicon  circuitry  to  deliver  the  speed of SRAM with the non-
volatility of Flash in a single, high endurance device. The  part
is  appropriate  for  applications  such as networking, security,
data storage, gaming and printers and  was  engineered  to  be  a
reliable,  economical,  single-component replacement for battery-
backed SRAM units.  The  device  also  could  be  used  in  cache
buffers,  configuration  storage  memories and other applications
that require the speed, endurance  and  non-volatility  of  MRAM.
The  3.3-volt device featuring 35 nanosecond read and write cycle
times. It is an asynchronous memory organized as 256K words by 16
bits  and  is  manufactured at Freescale's 200-mm Chandler Fab in
Arizona.
