Single poly EEPROM for smart power IC's

Abstract

Smart power integrated circuits need low density memory for applications such as trimming, IC customization, system addresses, and part traceability with few program/erase cycles. Memory solutions must be low cost and demonstrate high reliability in automotive environments. Programmability in the application is an advantage. We have developed a single poly EEPROM that meets these requirements and in addition gives significant die area savings over traditional low cost memory techniques.
