Frontgrade Technologies, a leading provider of high-reliability electronic solutions for space and national security missions, announced the expansion of its Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) product line. The expanded MRAM family now includes two new series, the Dual Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (Dual QSPI) series and the Parallel series, offering a comprehensive range of high-speed, non-volatile memory solutions designed for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. These products provide exceptional reliability and efficiency in systems where data integrity and mission assurance are paramount.
Dual QSPI: Fast, Reliable, and Efficient
Built on Spin-Transfer Torque (STT-MRAM) technology, the Dual QSPI series offers a wide range of densities, 128Mb and 1/2/4/8Gb. These new devices bring flash-like non-volatility with SRAM-level speed and endurance. They retain data during power loss, eliminating the need for complex backup systems. The Dual QSPI interface enables high-speed, synchronous communication and seamless integration into new or existing architectures. The new MRAMs are available in a 56-ball FBGA package for the 128Mb version and a 224-ball FBGA package for the 1/2/4/8Gb versions. Rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, the Dual QSPI series is well-suited for use in harsh environments.
Designed for boot, configuration, code execution, and data logging, it provides non-volatile data storage and operates reliably under intense radiation exposure. With a Dual QSPI interface, it supports fast boot and execute-in-place functions while maintaining unlimited read endurance, 10¹6 write cycles, and 20-year data retention, all without wear-leveling. The wide density range allows for future upgrade paths to support improvements in system capacity
Qualified to Frontgrade Space PEM Level 1 and 2 standards, the Dual QSPI ensures Single Event Upset immunity and up to 100 krad(Si) ionizing dose resilience. It enables space system designers to store multiple boot images and simplify architectures while improving efficiency and mission reliability.
