Airbus specifies mram in new aircraft family
Everspin Technologies has been chosen by Airbus to supply high performance mram devices for use in flight critical applications on the A350 XWB family.
Everspin will supply 4Mbyte and 16Mbyte parts for use in the flight control computer on the Airbus A350 XWB civil aircraft, which is in development. According to Everspin, mram will allow Airbus to replace previously used sram and flash with a memory that provides faster speeds, unlimited write cycles and easier software updates.
"We are very pleased that Airbus is able to replace multiple memories with an mram in the flight control computers in its latest generation of advanced aircraft," said Saied Tehrani, Everspin's chief operating officer. "Our mram product reliability, high speed read and write performance and cost effectiveness allows us to meet Airbus' system performance requirements, as well as their high quality standards."
