    • Technology

    MRAM uses the magnetism of electron spin to provide fast and enduring non-volatile memory. MRAM stores information in magnetic material that is integrated with silicon circuitry to deliver the speed of RAM with the non-volatility of Flash.

    Everspin is considered to be the world's first volume MRAM supplier and established an MRAM intellectual property portfolio of more than 600 active patents and applications, many of which are fundamental and essential for MRAM technologies including MTJ-based products.

    Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, Everspin owns and operates a manufacturing line for its magnetic back-end-of-line wafer processing, using standard CMOS wafers from foundries. Everspin's current MRAM products are based on 180-nm and 130-nm process technology nodes and industry standard packages.

    Data Center and Storage

    MRAM is used in storage, server and networking applications such as RAID, NAS, SAN and DAS applications, as well as rack and blade servers and routers.

    Energy and Infrastructure

    MRAM products have been designed into energy and infrastructure applications such as smart grid, smart meter, solar and wind applications, industrial computing and automation, and casino gaming.

    Automotive and Transportation

    Everspin supplies MRAM products for automotive and transportation applications including power train, brakes, safety, data logging, multimedia, navigation, camera and in-flight computers.

    Investors

    Investors include: New Venture Partners, Lux Capital, Sigma Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Epic Ventures.
