Breakthrough wireless memory technology from Ramtron that enables a new generation of RF applications

Ramtron's MaxArias wireless memory combines the low power, high speed, and high endurance features of Ramtron's nonvolatile F-RAM memory technology with wireless access to enable innovative data collection capabilities for a broad range of applications.

Ramtron's first family of wireless memory devices, named the MaxArias WM710xx product line, enables unparalleled tag sensitivity, read/write range, and speed. The MaxArias WM710xx will allow system integrators to extend their RF capabilities to create wireless data collectors capable of storing greater amounts of information locally on high-performance, RF-enabled ICs. The WM710xx family offer F-RAM memory capabilities in 4Kb, 8Kb, and 16Kb densities.

Benefits of MaxArias wireless memory, powered by F-RAM

• Greater RF sensitivity. Write operations are zero power, resulting in no power or speed penalty for executing writes.
• Improved range. Symmetrical wireless reads/writes at
  10 metres or more.
• Superior write-speed. With speeds up to 6x faster than EEPROM, MaxArias wireless memory enables full memory
  block-write operations, allowing more data to be stored faster without "soak time."
• Block-write integrity. SureWrite™ feature prevents data corruption during full block-writes, ensuring complete data integrity.
• Impervious to magnetic fields; resistant to gamma radiation.
