Microchip Technology via subsidiary Silicon Storage Technology (SST) has announced a strategic partnership with SK Hynix System IC to expand the availability of SuperFlash technology. The partnership will introduce SST's embedded SuperFlash technology to SK Hynix System IC's 110nm CMOS platform, providing designers a cost-effective and low-power embedded flash memory solution.

SST said its embedded SuperFlash technology is designed for a broad range of applications, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart cards and microcontroller-based applications. The technology's power efficiency and fast erase time are ideal for low-power applications such as remote IoT edge nodes and contactless payment devices.

SST's SuperFlash technology complements SK Hynix System IC's embedded flash memory solutions with low power and high reliability IP. The process development commenced earlier in 2018 and is expected to be completed in early 2019.

SK Hynix System IC is a fully-owned subsidiary spun off from SK Hynix in July 2017. SK Hynix System IC is a pure-play 200mm foundry specializing in display driver ICs, CMOS image sensors and power chips with process node offerings ranging from 500nm to 57nm.
