India, Dec. 4 -- Microchip Technology announced a new family of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) EERAM memory products that offer system designers to 25 percent cost savings over the current serial NVRAM alternatives. The family introduces four reliable SPI densities to Microchip's EERAM portfolio, ranging from 64 Kb up to 1 Mb.

About the Product:

EERAM is a standalone nonvolatile RAM that uses the same SPI and I 2 C protocols as serial SRAM, enabling devices to retain SRAM content during power loss without using an external battery. All nonvolatile aspects of the part are essentially invisible to the user.

When the device detects power going away, it automatically transfers the SRAM data to nonvolatile storage and moves it back to th...
