Our tools deliver the ability to quickly test, validate, program and integrate Numonyx flash memory into your design, saving you valuable resources while helping you get your product to market faster. A broad offering of development tools and subsystems help you optimize flash memory devices for wireless and embedded designs.

Numonyx offers memory modules, signal access modules (SAMs) and conversion modules to support many development environments.

Memory modules
Memory modules are designed around an interface standard or a specification that includes physical and electrical constraints. Numonyx offers PISMO2 modules, eMMC* memory modules, SODIMM modules, and modules to support specific chipset vendor boards. Memory modules can be used in a customer reference design, to conduct debug, perform ecosystem enabling, support a migration or conversion or for internal software development.

PISMO2 modules
PISMO* (Platform Independent Storage Module) is an industry-standard memory interface designed specifically for development platforms. PISMO enables a streamlined method for memory validation by providing development platforms with a single common interface for multiple flash memory devices.

Numonyx offers comprehensive support of the PISMO standard with its own family of PISMO standard-compliant storage modules. With a PISMO standard-compliant module from Numonyx, you can qualify multiple flash memory devices from a single development board and reuse the PISMO connector for qualifying new process geometries. Plus, because our PISMO modules are stackable, you can simultaneously qualify up to four memory devices.

Signal access modules (SAMs)
Assess system-level failures with a Signal Access Module (SAM) from Numonyx. SAMs enable system engineers to physically probe a Multi-Chip Package (MCP) stack in a system with the use of a logic analyzer and/or digital scope. Our SAMs are designed to meet the ball matrix specifications of a wide variety of package types, and allow the logic analyzer to access all pins on the device to enable system debug.

Conversion modules
Now, you can evaluate Numonyx® memory without implementing a change to your printed circuit board (PCB). Numonyx® conversion modules provide a simplified way to interface a Numonyx memory to an alternate interface, and are most commonly used for conversion of package type, bus interface or I/O voltage These modules can play a critical role in converting to a new type of memory, such as Numonyx® Phase Change Memory (PCM).
