Products

numonyxNumonyx® Omneo™ P5Q PCM
Omneo P5Q PCM is a 90nm device delivering high-speed SPI-compatibility. The Omneo P5Q PCM combines serial NOR flash memory and EEPROM technology benefits into one by delivering byte alterability, faster programming times and greater endurance.

Byte alterability provides for easier data manipulation and software simplification by eliminating the need for erasing large blocks of data. The over-write or “no-erase” function enables engineers and designers to simplify software designs and accelerate system performance, improving the time it takes to program a device by up to 300 times. The new Omneo P5Q product is able to write up to ten times more data than flash memory by delivering one million write cycles.

Numonyx® Omneo™ P8P PCM
The Numonyx P8P PCM is the second release of the 90nm 128Mb parallel product by Numonyx. The first release was introduced in December 2008. The first version supported 100,000 write cycles. The new release has been improved to achieve one million write cycles.

Both products are available now in volume.

Numonyx also unveiled a new brand name for its phase change memory products created for embedded applications – Numonyx® Omneo™ PCM. The applications-specific brand approach supports the company’s effort to develop memory solutions that are purpose-built to meet specific customer applications needs by segment.

Numonyx | Micron Technologies

Feb 2010 : Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU), and Numonyx Holdings B.V. announced that Micron had acquired privately held Numonyx in an all-stock transaction valuing Numonyx at approximately $1.27 billion USD. The continued proliferation of mobile devices, such as cell phones, digital cameras, portable music players and other handheld devices that use flash memory, has driven up demand for solid-state memory substantially in recent years. Demand for embedded flash chips in nonmobile devices is also on the rise.
