Kilopass Technology's Extra Permanent Memory or XPM technology is built using standard, commercially available CMOS logic process technologies and is silicon proven to deliver high density, high performance, and high reliability electrically field-programmable embedded NVM solutions at a low cost. A unique benefit of XPM embedded NVM technology is that it provides designers with a physically secure (Xtreme Security) non-volatile memory technology that is very high density. Over 50+ customers have integrated XPM in over 150+ designs from 180nm to 65nm. Applications range from a few hundred bits for unique ID to prevent cloning to multiple instances of 1Mb for program code storage. Many of the designs up to 90nm are ramping up to high volume production or have been in high volume production since 2003.
