STMicroelectronics introduces the industry's first 4Mbit EEPROM memory chip

     STMicroelectronics, the world's leading semiconductor supplier across multiple electronic applications, has introduced a new generation of memory chips that combine unprecedented storage capacity with read and write speed and reliability, enabling us to do more with the devices we use every day to enrich our lives and work.

     STMicroelectronics' new memory capacity of 4Mbit EEPROM allows small devices to capture more data, which is stored in memory via the serial SPI bus. With this memory, smart meters and other instrumentation devices can increase the amount of data recorded, so that energy networks can be more effectively managed and more humane billing methods can be provided; Portable medical devices can record patient data more intensively, improving the quality of medical care; Consumer products such as smart wearable devices can support more user functions and higher precision; In these applications, the low power consumption of the memory also helps to extend the battery life. High capacity memory can also bring benefits to various industrial control and communications infrastructure applications such as network switches.

     Benoit Rodrigues, General Manager of STMicroelectronics Memory Division, said: "ST is recognized as the world's largest manufacturer of serial EEPROM chips, serial memory is widely used in consumer, industrial and automotive related equipment systems, and we will continue to drive technological innovation. The first 4Mbit EEPROM device on the market was produced using our own CMOS technology, which is currently the most advanced 110nm EEPROM process in the industry."

     STMicroelectronics' M95M04 EEPROM memory combines unprecedented storage capacity with superior energy efficiency for budget-conscious applications. Expands STMicroelectronics' family of memory products known for highly reliable, durable 1 billion full memory read and write cycles. The new product is capable of writing 512 bytes in 5ms, enabling fast system operations with low latency.
