Synopsys Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) IP provides One-Time Programmable (OTP), Few-Time Programmable (FTP) and Multi-Time Programmable (MTP) NVM. It supports densities from 16 bits to 1 Mbit in standard CMOS, BCD, high voltage (HV), embedded flash, and specialty process technologies—without requiring additional masks or processing steps.
Small in area and high in performance, Synopsys NVM IP delivers industry-leading reliability in products that require cycling up to 1,000,000 times, high temperature operation for Automotive applications, and ultra-low power consumption. Selected NVM IP has met the standards for AEC-Q100 Automotive Grade 0, 1 or 2. Validated through rigorous characterization, qualification, and reliability testing, silicon-proven Synopsys NVM IP has been integrated into thousands of designs by hundreds of customers.
Synopsys advanced node OTP is silicon-verified in TSMC N3P, N4P, N5, N5A, N6, and N7 process nodes. Synopsys OTP in TSMC N5A is Grade 1 qualified to AEC-Q100 standard.
Non-volatile memory retains data even when power is removed, making it essential for storing configuration settings, security keys, firmware, and other critical information. By using NVM IP from a vendor like Synopsys, chip designers can efficiently add reliable, tested NVM functions to their designs without developing the technology from scratch. Learn more
