Everspin Technologies reported its financial results for Q2 2022. Revenues were $10.6 million (down from $15.7 million in Q2 2023), and net loss was $0.2 million (down from a new profit of $5.4 million in Q2 2023). The company is cash flow positive, generated $1.7 million in the quarter, and ended it with $36.8 million in cash and equivalents.

During the quarter, the company experienced weakness in toggle MRAM sales, partly due to inventory consumption and partly due to unfavorable currency exchange. Looking ahead, Everspin sees positive signs of inventory consumption, and expects a modest ramp in toggle MRAM sales in the rest of 2024. Everspin said it has strong traction with its new PERSYST family of MRAM products, and expects to start delivering the first products to its customers towards the end of 2024 or early 2025.

pMTJ STT-MRAM developer Avalanche Technology launched a new enhanced discrete product family called "Space Grade-E", targeting the aerospace & defense community. The new Space Grade-E MRAM is based on Avalancehe's Gen 3 high density, high reliability MRAM technology, and it allows pin compatible scalability to MEO, GEO, and beyond.

The Space Grade-E family is now sampling, and is offered in both Parallel and Dual QSPI interface types. Compared to the company's previous generation space-grade MRAM, this new generation includes a boost in radiation tolerance specs and burn in hours for improved reliability. The new memory is maintains pin-compatible migration from Avalanche's previous generation space-grade MRAM. 

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities developed a new AI hardware accelerator, based on MRAM memory, that can accelerate AI computation by a factor of 1,000. 

The so-calledd Computational Random-Access Memory device, or CRAM, is a machine learning inference accelerator, that is not just 1,000 faster, it also exhibits energy saves of 1,700 to 2,500 times compared to traditional methods. 

The New York Center for Research, Economic Advancement, Technology, Engineering, and Science (NY CREATES) and CEA-Leti announced a two-year strategic R&D partnership, that will initially focus on the research and co-development of MRAM devices.

NY CREATES and CEA-Leti will develop and produce both STT-MRAM and SOT-MRAM devices on 300 mm substrates. CEA-Leti will contribute its expertise in magnetics, spintronics, and the testing of related devices, and NY CREATES will provide the facilities, process integration expertise, and materials process development to run the 300mm silicon hardware.

Alif Semiconductor announced a new microcontroller in its Ensemble family, the E1C, that offers 46 giga-operations per second (GOPS) of minimum-precision compute for on-device machine learning and artificial intelligence workloads.

The Alif E1C offers several memory options, depending on the model, ranging from 256Kb of SRAM in the entry-level option, up to 1.9Mb of MRAM and 2Mb of SRAM in the high-end option.

In 2019, Samsung Electronics announced that it has started to mass produce its first embedded MRAM devices, made using the company's 28 nm FD-SOI process. In 2021, Samsung announced it is working to scale down to 14 nm processes.

The company now says that it has finalized the development of its 14 nm eMRAM process, and will be read to mass produce it by the end of 2024. The company says that the 14 nm process achieve a 33% area scaling compared to its 28 nm process, and it also enables a 2.6x faster read cycle time. Samsung says that its eMRAM enables the smallest size 16MB memory die.

High-performance STT-MRAM developer Numem announced that in collaboration with ASIC/SoC designer IC’ALPS it has developed an integrated circuit with RISC-V processors, 2MBytes of NuRAM and a DSP/AI Custom Datapath Accelerator.

The two companies co-developed the SoC in an advanced technology node, taking advance of the high-performance and low power consumption of Numem's memory technology. The company also details that the physical implementation of this integrated circuit was made in a secure space (isolated location, network, and servers, and encrypted exchanges) to meet with the stringent protection of sensitive data required by this program. Numem and IC’Alps intend to extend their partnership to serve new SoC projects for customers.
