Everspin Technologies unveiled its UNISYST MRAM family on March 10, offering a new generation of unified code‑and‑data memory for embedded systems. The family is available in densities from 128 megabits to 2 gigabits and uses a standard xSPI interface that can operate at octal SPI speeds up to 200 MHz. Read bandwidth reaches 400 MB/s and write bandwidth is about 90 MB/s, a performance increase of more than 400 times over typical NOR flash.
The new MRAM cells deliver a write endurance that is up to ten times higher than conventional NOR flash and are designed to meet AEC‑Q100 Grade 1 qualification. Everspin also guarantees a minimum 10‑year data‑retention window even at extreme temperatures, positioning the product for safety‑critical automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Engineering samples are slated for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2026, with a formal launch scheduled for Embedded World 2026. The timing aligns with the industry’s shift toward higher‑density, non‑volatile memory that can support the growing demands of generative AI and edge computing.
Everspin’s management highlighted the product’s strategic relevance. President and CEO Sanjeev Aggarwal noted that “System designers are running into the physical and performance limits of NOR flash, especially as process nodes move below 40 nanometers and workloads become more demanding.” He added that UNISYST extends the company’s MRAM roadmap to higher densities while allowing customers to start with PERSYST today and migrate to a code‑and‑data architecture as it becomes available.
The launch addresses a multibillion‑dollar market for unified memory. By offering a single solution that combines the speed of RAM with the non‑volatility of flash, Everspin positions itself against the limitations of NOR flash and against competitors that focus on discrete or embedded MRAM. The company’s MRAM technology is already supported by a robust intellectual‑property portfolio.
Financially, Everspin reported $16.7 million in revenue for Q4 2023, a 6 % increase from $15.7 million in Q4 2022, and a gross margin of 58.1 % versus 51.4 % in the prior year. The company’s cash balance stood at $42.1 million as of December 31 2024, providing a solid foundation for continued investment in product development and market expansion.
