EEtimes reports http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4391539/Startup-raises-money-to-bring-MRAM-to-market?pageNumber=0 that Avalance Technology http://www.avalanche-technology.com/ has just gotten $30 million in funding from Avalanche’s current investors (Vulcan Capital, Sequoia Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Thomvest Ventures and Qualcomm Ventures) and VTB Capital (Moscow, Russia). The investment is to help Avalanche ready its spin-torque-transfer (STT) magnetic RAM (MRAM) for production. Avalanche is one of a number of companies that are questing for commercial STT MRAM, hoping to displace some or all of the NAND Flash market.
