Tezzaron Semiconductor, a maker of 3D memory ICs and SoC memory blocks,has obtained a license for Rambus' (NASDAQ:RMBS) ReRAM IP, along with related specs and validation suites.
Tezzaron plans to "build ReRAM into storage-class 3D memory devices for military, aerospace and commercial applications," as well as to "implement ReRAM in an assortment of SoCs, FPGAs and processors." The company claims its Novati Technologies unit can use ReRAM to "add hundreds of megabytes of storage to a logic device manufactured in a standard commercial fab." The first Tezzaron ReRAM products are due in 2016.
Though still in development-stage, ReRAM's proponents have declared it to be a potential flash memory replacement (more than a few would-be replacements have come and gone over the years), arguing the technology can deliver better performance and endurance, lower power draw, and a simpler chip architecture than NAND flash. Startup Crossbar Technologies has its own ReRAM development efforts.
Rambus, which bought ReRAM developer Unity Semiconductor in 2012, has also struck licensing deals for the technology with Micron (NASDAQ:MU) and Freescale (NYSE:FSL) - Micron and Sony researchers showed off a 16Gb ReRam chip last February.
