Tokyo, Japan (November 15th, 2021) – Floadia Corporation (Floadia), a leading provider of embedded flash intellectual property (IP) announces that its high-quality eNVM (embedded Non-volatile Memory), with product name “ZT”, supporting 150 degree C retention of 10 years, is now available on Shanghai Huahong Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (HHGrace) 180BCD (Z8) platform.

Floadia’s ZT is fully compatible to standard logic and Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process, without the requirement of any additional masks and process steps.  ZT supports a few Kbit density and achieves high reliable data retention of 150 degree C of 10 years, and its cycling is up to 100K times.  ZT uses FN tunneling methodology to achieve low power in program and erase.

Floadia’ ZT has been widely adopted by several Japanese IDM for a variety of automotive applications including drive line system, pressure sensor, motor driver and engine control system chip.  The newly unveiled ZT IP on HHGrace 180BCD (Z8) platform is a 4kbit macro, and is a good fit for automotive and industrial purpose to support trimming, calibration and frequent ID update requirement in the field.  ZT has been adopted by a Chinese local automotive chip maker with mass production roll out plan in 2022.
