  3. Corporate Management and Background NarbehDerhacobian - President, CEO SST, AMD, Virage Logic Michael Van Buskirk – CTO AMD, Spansion Ron Shelton – CFO Cirrus Logic, Alliance Semiconductor, Deloitte & Touche IshaiNaveh - VP Marketing, Business Development, Licensing National Semiconductor, TOWER Semiconductor Michael Hollabaugh – VP, World Wide Sales Ramtron, Fairchild, AMCC Shane Hollmer – VP, Engineering AMD, SST, Monolithic Power Systems Janet Wang – VP, Discrete Products Group AMD, Transmeta, Broadcom

  4. Corporate Mission Provide Differentiated Memory Solutions in the Code and Data Storage Markets Using Our Proprietary Technology Platforms Conductive Bridging RAM (CBRAM®) DataFlash® Serial FLASH Low Power Flexible Reliable High Performance Industry Proven Broad Applications Scalable Cost Effective Cost Effective

  5. Adesto Technologies’ Offerings and Solutions Serial and DataFlash®Product Line CBRAM®-Based Product Line CBRAM-Based Licensing • Serial Flash Memory Products for Code and Data Storage • Established Technology with Tier 1 Customers • Over 150MU/Year • Markets: Consumer, Industrial, Automotive, Computing, Communication • Technology Platform for Licensing • Embedded Memory in Microcontroller or System-on-Chip or FPGA • Ultra High Density Memory Application • Markets: Consumer, Computing and Communication • Discrete Non Volatile Memory • Based on Disruptive CBRAM Technology • Significant Improvement in Power, Performance and Cost • First Emerging Memory Technology in the Market • Early Markets: Consumer • Follow On Markets: Communication, Computing, Industrial Memory Expertise Proprietary Solutions Strong and Stable Channel Flexible Business Model

  6. What is CBRAM®? Less than 1mA Write Capable Less than 0.6V Write Capable Scalable to 1Xnm and Lower Multi Level Cell Capable Conductive Bridging RAM (CBRAM) is adisruptive memory technology platform that is highly scalable low power high performance which can be integrated at Back-End-of-Line in a standard CMOS processes. Sub 50ns Write Capable Large Dynamic Range Allowing Fast Access Bit Accessible for Read and Write 1 Transistor – 1 Resistor Cell (1T1R) DRAM Cost Structure Fully Compatibility with BEOL Processing

  7. CBRAM®– The Faster, Low Cost, Low Power Solution Non Volatile Implementation of CBRAM Technology DRAM Implementation of CBRAM Technology

  8. CBRAM® Cross Section Schematic CBRAM memory module Bottom electrode, memory stack and top contact integration

  9. Wireless body sensor nodes enable inexpensive continuous monitoring of patients Ultra Low-Power Capability of CBRAM® Memory Information (APPLICATION) (APPLICATION) An embedded ultra low-power CBRAM non-volatile memory block can operate without battery power, on the energy generated by body heat alone Assessment, Treatment

  10. CBRAM®: Ultra Fast Program/Erase Scope traces of BL and WL showing program/erase operation ~10ns to Program ~10ns to Erase High speed combined with low current operation makes CBRAM a highly desired candidate for low power and low energy applications

  11. CBRAM® Technology Platform: Not Just for Flash Product Manufacturing Licensing for Embedded Applications Adesto® Business Model Licensing to Memory Manufacturers Longer Battery Life, Energy Efficient Server Farms Longer Battery Life, Enhanced Consumer Experience and Integrated Security High Performance and Low Energy Flash Implementation Low Power DRAM Implementation Cost Effective Scalable Technology CBRAM Core Technology Platform CBRAM-based technology can be tuned to provide non-volatile (FLASH) functionality or DRAM functionality

  12. Industry Leading DataFlash® and Serial Flash Business - Adesto completed a strategic acquisition of its Serial Flash product line from ATMEL Corporation in Q3 2012. - Adesto now has a strong Tier 1 customer base, broad market presence and synergy with its CBRAM product roadmap.

  13. The DataFlash® Concept....

  14. DataFlash® Product Line Evolution… 15 years of support and backwards compatibility 2002-2007 AT45DBxxxB Legacy 2007-2013 AT45DBxxxD Current 2013+ AT45DBxxxE Next Generation • Smallest page sizes • Dual SRAM buffers • Command Rich I/F • Serial E² Emulation • Page Erase / Page Write • Flexible Sector Protection • Any Sector Lockdown • 128Byte Security register • Ind. Std Device ID • Byte write capability • Dual/quad IO interfaces • Low-power modes • 1.65V & 2.3V operation 14

  15. DataFlash® Value Proposition.... DataFlash contributes to an overall lowersystem cost

  16. DataFlash® Intelligent Internal AlgorithmsEnable “Offloading” CPU Tasks: more CPU cycles available for Metering Functions • DataFlash • The first Serial Flash Memory to Support a BYTE WRITE operation • Requires NO CPU override, Management or support • Enable DataFlash to pick up where Serial E² Finishes. Traditional Flash DataFlash “D” DataFlash “E” Copy 4KB block to CPU SRAM Memory Page to Buffer Transfer Issue 0x58h Cmd. with 1-PageN Bytes Erase 4KB Block in Memory Modify Buffer Contents Poll Device  Page to Memory Program Erase Done?
