Now designers have another option. Kilopass, already an established player in nonvolatile memory (NVM), has introduced an improved version of its antifuse OTP. Called Gusto, it’s licensed as process-portable intellectual property (IP). It is the industry’s first 4Mb OTP, quadrupling the capacity of existing OTP memories. It’s large enough to store boot code and system firmware, rather than just code patches, configuration code, and trim settings for analog components. In addition, Kilopass claims Gusto reads memory two to four times faster, cuts active power consumption by an order of magnitude, and slashes current leakage in standby mode by a factor of 40.
