IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine - January/February 2020 - 71

Emerging memories, such as MRAM, are
enabling the next generation of AI applications
used in consumer as well as industry devices,
particularly in power constrained and harsh
environments. The major semiconductor foundries are geared up to include MRAM and other
nonvolatile memories in their embedded products. You can expect to buy long lasting AIenabled devices using these nonvolatile memories in the near future.

Because of these power and space advantages for replacing fast volatile memory with
nonvolatile memory, such as MRAM, all the major
semiconductor foundries are offering MRAM as
an optional embedded product memory. Some
early products using MRAM are now available
including the 22 nm ASIC Gyrfalcom MRAM
Engine (Lightspeeur 2802M) with 40 MB of MRAM
and meant for image classification, voice identification, text to speech, facial recognition, voice
commands, and other AI applications in the field.
