M 65656MATRA MHS
Rev. C (09/08/95) 1
Description
The M 65656 is a very low power CMOS static RAM
organized as 32768 × 8 bits. It is manufactured using the
MHS high performance CMOS technology named
SCMOS.
W ith this process, MHS is the first to bring the solution for
applications where fast computing is as mandatory as low
consumption, such as aerospace electronics, portable
instruments or embarked systems.
Using an array of six transistors (6T) memory cells, the
M 65656 combines an extremely low standby supply
current (Typical value = 0.1 µA) with a fast access time
at 40 ns. The high stability of the 6T cell provides
excellent protection against soft errors due to noise.
Extra protection against heavy ions is given by the use of
an epitaxial layer of a P substrate.
For military/space applications that demand superior
levels of performance and reliability the M 65656 is
processed according to the methods of the latest revision
of the MIL STD 883 (class B or S) and/or ESA SCC 9000.
