1Gb OctaFlash\u2122 Memory Helps Enable Advanced AI Applications, 3D-like GUI Experience<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
HSINCHU<\/span>, March 11, 2025 \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Macronix International Co., Ltd.<\/a> (TSE: 2337), a leading integrated device manufacturer in the non-volatile memory (NVM) market and an ST Authorized Partner, today announced that STMicroelectronics (ST) is using Macronix OctaFlash\u2122 memory for ST’s new STM32N6 high-performance microcontroller <\/a>(MCU) platform integrating the high performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the Neural-ART AcceleratorTM<\/sup><\/a>. Macronix’s MX25UW1G45G and MX25UM51245G memories have been selected by ST for STM32N6 Discovery Kits<\/a> and STM32N6 Nucleo<\/a> evaluation boards, enabling the high-end designs to feature high-performance flash memory, enabling powerful artificial intelligence (AI) computer-vision applicability and a graphical user interface (GUI) experience that simulates 3D-like GUIs and animations for industrial, wearable, smart home, and medical applications.<\/p>\n “Neural processing presents an exciting opportunity for the STM32N6 and future ST microcontrollers, which we expect to see deployed throughout the industrial and consumer markets,” said Daniel Colonna<\/span>, marketing director of the General Purpose and Automotive Microcontrollers Division at ST. “To ensure designers have the optimal tools to create products using the STM32N6 and high-performance flash memory, we have selected Macronix’s OctaFlash MX25UW1G45G and MX25UM51245G for the STM32N6 Discovery Kits” and “Macronix is a proven global supplier of industry-leading flash memory and a longtime ST Authorized Partner, which made the selection straightforward for us.”<\/p>\n “The STM32N6 represents an exciting new generation of high-performance microcontrollers for neural processing in artificial intelligence deployed on systems’ edges,” said F.L. Ni, vice president of marketing at Macronix. “That ST selected our MX25UW1G45G and MX25UM51245G high-performance flash devices stands as a testament to the memories’ exceptional performance and security, and ST’s commitment to high optimal reliability and user experience in such demanding applications.”<\/p>\n The STM32N6 is based on the\u202fArm\u00ae Cortex\u00ae-M55\u202fprocessing core, running at 800 MHz and includes Arm Helium vector technology. It’s the first STM32 MCU to embed the\u00a0Neural-ART accelerator<\/a>, an ST-developed neural processing unit (NPU) engineered for power-efficient edge AI applications. Clocked at 1 GHz and providing up to 600 GOPS, it enables real-time neural network inference for computer vision and audio applications.<\/p>\n The MX25UM\/UW OctaFlash memories deliver “instant-on” performance and real-time system responsiveness in automotive, industrial and consumer applications, including AI. The ultra-high-performance OctaBus\u2122 memory are capable of performing up to an operational frequency of and industry-leading 250MHz with 500MB\/s read throughput. The MX25UM\/UW OctaFlash empowers system architects to satisfy customers’ demands in high performance AI applications, such as computer vision and rich graphical user interfaces.<\/p>\n The MX25UM\/UW OctaBus memory family supports efficient Execution-In-Place (XIP), management of over-the-air (OTA) software updates and data logging – features that complement STM32 MCUs well.<\/a> MX25UM\/UW memories are available in densities up to 2Gb and can support the most advanced AI and graphical user interfaces that leverage on the accelerators embedded in STM32N6.<\/p>\n About Macronix\u00a0 OctaFlash and OctaBus are trademarks of Macronix International Co., Ltd.\u00a0 All other names may be registered trademarks of their respective owners.<\/i><\/p>\n Editorial contacts US: <\/p>\n 1Gb OctaFlash\u2122 Memory Helps Enable Advanced AI Applications, 3D-like GUI Experience<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n HSINCHU<\/span>, March 11, 2025 \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Macronix International Co., Ltd.<\/a> (TSE: 2337), a leading integrated device manufacturer in the non-volatile memory (NVM) market and an ST Authorized Partner, today announced that STMicroelectronics (ST) is using Macronix OctaFlash\u2122 memory for ST’s new STM32N6 high-performance microcontroller <\/a>(MCU) platform integrating the high performance Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the Neural-ART AcceleratorTM<\/sup><\/a>.
