F-RAM Devices Qualified to +125C Grade 1 Automotive Temperature for Demanding Automotive Systems
Demanding qualification is testimony to F-RAM's reliability under the hood; Line of AEC-Q100-qualified F-RAM products grows to eight, including five Grade 1 extended temp products, with five more qualifications coming soon
Ramtron's line of F-RAM Grade 1 automotive parts, qualified to operate over the entire automotive temperature range of -40 to +125 degrees Celsius, are suitable for automotive applications under the hood, as well as in the passenger cab.
F-RAM's fast writes and virtually unlimited endurance are ideal for automotive systems that continuously log data. These include:
- Powertrain
- Smart airbags
- Active steering
- Adaptive cruise control
- Brakes
- Other systems that require fast and frequent data writes
Within the powertrain, F-RAM constantly records driving style so that the gearbox can adapt itself accordingly.
In a smart airbag, F-RAM collects occupant size and position data continuously to ensure that the airbag deploys safely during a crash.
For active steering, F-RAM stores steering angle data rapidly and frequently.
F-RAM in Intelligent Electronics
F-RAM's fast writes and very high endurance make it an ideal memory for data collection and storage. As more sensors are designed into the car, more data needs to be collected. F-RAM NoDelay™ writes facilitates the collection of more data at higher frequencies, allowing intelligent automotive applications to act on the timeliest information available.
Already a mature technology, F-RAM is designed into a multitude of sophisticated automotive electronics systems worldwide, such as:
- Smart airbags
- Event data recorders
- Occupant sensors
- Powertain
- Active steering
- Adaptive cruise control
- Infotainment systems
- Diagnostics
- Anti-pinch/trap windows/sunroof and more
