MNEMOSYNE for critical components with radhard memory for space applications.
Mnemosyne, in Greek mythology, is the personification of memory. She is one of the Titans, daughter of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth). Mnemosyne played a crucial role in the lives of the gods, as she was the mother of the nine Muses, who inspired art and science. Her name is derived from the Greek word "mnēmē," meaning memory, symbolizing her power to preserve knowledge and wisdom across generations. MNEMOSYNE aka the memory goddess is a non volatile memory ASIC derived from a project with the same name. Integrating her legacy with Mnemosyne memory technology highlights the enduring importance of reliability and information retention in space applications.
MNEMOSYNE space grade modules are stacks of SEE (latch-up, upset, SEFI, transient) immune ASICs designed with the 22 nm STT-MRAM FDSOI process. Our radiation tolerant modules feature high density, high endurance, long time data retention and serial or parallel interface. The modules are offered in SOP or BGA package for high resistance Surface Mount (SMT) assembly and for withstanding harsh thermal and mechanical environments.
This new portfolio of non-volatile memories features a serial or parallel interface, embedded ECC and counters.With memory densities from 128 Mbit to 1 Gbit, MNEMOSYNE modules are compatible with the latest generation of FPGAs and processors.
The 3DMN512M08US4853 and 3DMN1G08US8854 modules are products derived from this project. The serial interface, density, radiation performances, endurance, data retention and qualification position this memory module as the best-in class configuration/boot memory. It is therefore the perfect fit for the latest FPGAs and processors on the space market.
The MNEMOSYNE project, backed by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program, aims to create a European-independent, radiation-hardened, high-density non-volatile memory for space applications. Led by 3D PLUS, this initiative brings together top experts in radiation effects and space electronics from institutions such as IMEC, Padova University, TRAD, NanoXplore, and Beyond Gravity. This collaborative effort has resulted in a memory solution setting new standards in the space industry.
The project's logo features a '0' and '1' forming an 'M' for "Mnemosyne" and "Memory," symbolizing digital electronics. The magnetic-themed design reflects the project's focus on magnetic memory. An orbit and planet signify the space application focus.

3DMN512M08US4853 or 3DMN1G08US8854 is a high performance 512 Mbit or 1 Gbit non-volatile memory with a serial interface. The 512 Mbit /1 Gbit memory module seemingly replaces any SPI NOR flash memory by providing a high-speed, low pin count SPI-compatible bus interface with a single 1.8 V power supply. It delivers up to 200 MBps reads and writes over 8 I/O signals at a clock frequency of 100 MHz.
This native latch-up immunized memory, manufactured using an FDSOI process, is radiation tolerant by design. Additional protection against transient effects is provided by an embedded controller with ECC. In addition, an ECC flag and error counter are provided to assist the user in their error management strategy. These features are helpful in extending the life of the module in the radiation environment.
