Dialog’s EcoXiP octal xSPI non-volatile memory (NVM) has been optimized for use with Renesas’ RZ/A2M Arm-based MPUs.

Customers of the RZ/A2M, which is designed for high-speed processing of embedded AI imaging in smart appliances, service robots, and industrial machinery, can now take advantage of the system-level benefits of EcoXiP, claimed to be the industry’s lowest power octal xSPI NOR flash device.

EcoXiP enables ultra-fast boot for instant-on capability and real-time system responsiveness. It also offers efficient storing of AI weights for low-power AI inference. In addition, EcoXiP enables MPUs to operate in eXecute-in-Place (XiP) mode for code execution directly from external flash memory.
