Mask PROM & EPROM Industry Overview
The PROM and EPROM market is highly fragmented, as the market is highly competitive and consists of several major players. The competitive rivalry in the market depends on the competitive advantages of various companies through product innovations, larger read and write endurance in similar price ranges and partnerships with OEMs.
- November 2021 - Infineon launched high precision coreless current sensor for XEV applications. The integrated EPROM of Infineon's XENSIV TLE 4972 current sensor allows customization for different applications and supports measurement ranges up to 2 kA.
- November 2021 - General Motors announced that it is working on new microcontrollers to curb chip shortage. GM is working with seven prominent microchip suppliers to develop three new microcontroller families to lower the cost and complexity involved in implementing automobile features and create a more stable source of these vital components. Qualcomm, STM, TSMC, Renesas, ON Semi, NXP, and Infineon are supplier partners. Both microcontrollers and microprocessors can be called microchips, but microprocessors are CPUs (Central Processing Units), they can process data, and microcontrollers are a combination of a CPU with memory (Mask PROM and EPROM) and are programmable input/output peripherals in one single package, basically an entire computer on a chip.
