Smart meters provide utilities with accurate, real-time monitoring of energy. The data from smart meters is often transmitted over a variety of wireless networks. Using this real-time data, utilities can monitor usage and detect anomalies, leading to efficiencies and cost savings.
Smart meters require high writing endurance as they need to write data continually. In addition, as OTA (Over The Air Programming) function is added, faster writing speed is required to reduce the time taken for S/W upgrade.
MRAM delivers main benefits as the following
Fast speed, Security feature
Virtually no limit on endurance (100 trillion write cycle)
Byte basis accessibility makes software more efficient. Smaller density required.
Less program update time, Less power consumption (good for OTA)
Safe from sudden power failure, Short recovering time
