Everspin Has Shipped More Than 100K MRAM Chips to Siemens with Zero Field Failures
Everspin Technologies, a leading provider of magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) products, has been recognized for perfect quality by Siemens’ Industry Automation division. Siemens is using Everspin’s fast read/write 4Mbit MRAM chip in an industrial touch-screen application and has reported zero field failures over the last two years.
“After two years of high volume production and more than 100K systems in the field, we are very happy with the perfect quality and reliability of Everspin’s products in our industrial automation systems,” commented a Siemens representative.
MRAM technology provides non-volatility, fast read/write capabilities and high reliability for rugged applications in the industrial automation market. Siemens uses Everspin MRAM to maintain software-programmable logic controller (SoftPLC) process data for its Simatic Multipanel MP 277 and MP 377 multi-panel human machine interface (HMI) products without battery backup.
“Everspin’s MRAM device has provided the non-volatility, performance and reliability that we needed to add user-programmable features to our mid- and high-end display products,” said Ingmar Binder, project manager for HMI R&D at Siemens’ Industry Automation division.
“Everspin’s MRAM products deliver the most reliable, high-performance non-volatile RAM products in the market,” said Dr. Saied Tehrani, Everspin’s chief operating officer. “We are very pleased with our excellent quality performance in the field with all of our customers. Our continuous focus on building quality from early stages of design through every manufacturing step is truly paying off for us and our customers.”
Today, Everspin is shipping high volumes of MRAM products to leading customers across the globe for applications including storage, industrial automation, gaming, energy management, communications, consumer transportation and avionics.

Everspin’s award-winning MRAM is a revolutionary memory that uses the magnetism of electron spin to provide non-volatility with no wear-out. Everspin MRAM stores information in magnetic material integrated with silicon circuitry to deliver cost-effective, highly reliable, non-destructive readout non-volatile memory with SRAM-like speed. This enables a true “instant-on” capability and power loss protection in many classes of electronic devices over a wide temperature range.
