STMicro NVRAM features 3.05mm profile

STMicroelectronics has introduced the M48Z32V ZEROPOWER NVRAM that integrates battery switchover and write-protect functions, and a low-power SRAM device, into a 44-pin SOIC package with a 3.05mm profile, making the device suitable for use in network routers and switches, as well as servers and storage devices.

The device has a rated data retention time of 10 years on 18mAh of battery capacity at 400C. It also provides provisions for battery backup and functions just like an ordinary SRAM, allowing it to be easily incorporated into most system designs.

The M48Z32V runs at 3.3V and an integrated Power-Fail Detect circuit write-protects the memory when source voltage falls below the failure detection voltage of 2.85V. It operates over the temperature range of 00C to 700C.
