MRAM 101 ft. Joe O’Hare of Everspin

Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory, or MRAM, is a non-volatile memory utilizing magnetic states versus electrical charges to store critical data. AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony sits down with Joe O'Hare, Senior Marketing Director of Everspin, to learn the basics of MRAM and its automotive applications, from the assembly line to inside the cabin.
"My role in the automotive industry is really to provide information versus making recommendations or endorsements, but I am impressed with Everspin following my time with Joe," said Carl Anthony after the release of this episode. "MRAM, as a solution, might not be getting the full consideration it deserves when the discussion shifts to how we, as an industry, will achieve all of the benchmarks associated with future mobility."
