Balancing the Demands of OTP for Advanced Nodes with Synopsys IP

One-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory has been around for a long time. Compared to other non-volatile memory technologies OTP has a smaller footprint and does not require additional manufacturing steps, making it a popular choice to store items such as boot code and encryption keys. While this sounds simple, the growth… Read More
