NVM Integration into BCD Manufacturing Node

As power and mixed-signal designs become smarter, more of them are integrating microcontroller functionality directly into devices such as smart PMICs, driver ICs, high-voltage designs, and other power-management solutions. With this added intelligence comes the need for embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) to support code storage, configuration, calibration, trimming, security, data retention, and in-field updates.
This session will discuss the growing role of embedded microcontrollers in analog and mixed-signal designs, the value that embedded NVM brings to these applications, and the key considerations for integrating NVM into BCD manufacturing processes. It will also examine why ReRAM is particularly well suited to this environment, offering a compact, low-power, scalable solution with simple process integration compared with traditional embedded NVM technologies.
