Silicon Magnetic Systems, the magnetic random access memory (MRAM)-dedicated subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor, has begun providing alpha samples of its 256Kbit devices to seven key customers, reported in the parent company’s financial results yesterday.

Two of the seven unnamed customers reported the MRAMs are fully functional in initial system tests, with the other five currently developing evaluation systems.

MRAM is a universal memory in applications that require nonvolatile storage, high performance and low power consumption for applications such as wireless communications, PDAs, handheld equipment, industrial controls, storage area networks, network area storage, servers and consumer electronic equipment.

Further, Silicon Magnetic Systems said MRAMs are ideal in applications currently using battery backed SRAM, EEPROM or flash memories, because they eliminate the battery and allow SRAM-like speed, power, ease of use and non-volatility.
