Abstract :
A 2.125MB embedded flash module with ECC for automotive microcontrollers is designed for a junction temperature range from -40degC to 150degC. The 23.4mm2 module is fabricated in a 0.13mum CMOS process with non-volatile extension using a uniform cell programming NOR architecture. Careful speed optimization resulted in a 23.5ns access time and 2GB/s read throughput at a 170MHz system clock frequency.
