Smart Energy & Utilities
Everspin MRAM technology is used across modern electric and hydro grid infrastructure, particularly in smart meters, control systems and energy automation equipment, where fast, reliable, and persistent data retention is critical – especially in harsh environments. Its high reliability, long data retention, and fast write speeds are critical for smart city energy management applications including smart power meters and industrial energy systems. MRAM's persistence ensures that important data, including usage patterns and billing information, is securely retained even during power outages without the need for batteries. Everspin MRAM also features dynamic security capabilities that enable remote updates of security keys and tamper detection.
End-User Examples
MRAM is deployed in smart grid controllers, solar power inverters, building lighting control systems, and other utility-related industrial internet of things (IIoT) applications requiring robust, fast, and secure non-volatile memory.
Grid Automation Controllers
Everspin’s MRAM is integrated into grid substation energy automation controllers, which require deterministic data retention during power interruptions without additional energy storage or wear-leveling overhead.
Solar Inverters
MRAM offers fast access times and near unlimited write cycles without needing batteries or capacitors for data retention, making it ideal for inverter control systems that need to store sensor data, operational states, and configuration parameters reliably.
Building Lighting Control
Automated building lighting controllers that manage sensors, luminaires, and system configurations benefit from MRAM’s ability to maintain configurations and sensor data during power interruptions.
Smart Meters
Smart meters and energy monitoring systems equipped with Everspin MRAM provide accurate data logging for billing and energy management with long-term data retention across extreme temperature ranges and harsh environments.
Traffic Sensors
MRAM helps traffic sensors lower power usage by enabling ultra-low standby power, fast and efficient data writes, and reliable state retention without backup batteries or capacitors, making it ideal for energy-harvesting or battery-powered IoT traffic devices.
