TOKYO, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Floadia Corporation (hereinafter "Floadia"), a Tokyo, Japan-based developer of embedded flash IP (eFlash IP), has announced the release of its latest automotive eFlash IP, G1, implemented on TSMC's 180BCD Gen3 process platform. The newly released IP is designed to meet the stringent reliability and performance requirements of next-generation automotive applications.
The G1 automotive eFlash IP integrates a 256KB program flash macro and a 1KB data flash macro based on SONOS technology, offering a highly reliable and cost-effective non-volatile memory solution for automotive ICs. The G1 eFlash process is added on top of TSMC's standard 180BCD Gen3 platform without any modification to the original PDK, allowing customers to use the same qualified PDK while seamlessly integrating embedded flash into their designs. The IP has successfully passed AEC-Q100 Grade 1 full qualification on TSMC 180BCD Gen3, confirming its robustness under harsh automotive operating conditions and readiness for production.
The eFlash IP consists of:
- 256KB program flash (PFlash) for code storage
- 1KB data flash (DFlash) with 100K program/erase endurance, enabling EEPROM-like functionality for data storage
Both PFlash and DFlash are optimized for fast operation, achieving a maximum erase time of less than 20ms, which significantly improves system performance and reduces firmware update time in automotive systems.
To simplify system integration, the G1 eFlash IP includes an internal charge pump, eliminating the need for external high-voltage circuitry. In addition, both PFlash and DFlash provide an 8 parity-bit code for ECC interface, ensuring high data integrity and reliability throughout the device lifetime.
With its proven SONOS-based architecture, fast erase performance, and full automotive qualification, Floadia's G1 eFlash IP on TSMC 180BCD Gen3 is well suited for a wide range of automotive applications, including power management ICs, motor drivers, body electronics, and other automotive systems.
