  • WeeBit ReRAM memory fits into chips without changing the existing transistor structures
  • Each ReRAM cell stores data using resistive switching, not traditional flash methods
  • ReRAM can handle between 100,000 and 1 million write cycles

Texas Instruments’ decision to license embedded ReRAM from Weebit Nano has reignited claims that flash memory has reached structural limits.

The agreement follows earlier deals with SkyWater, DB HiTek, and Onsemi, marking a steady escalation in manufacturing partners rather than an abrupt endorsement.

Weebit’s CEO, Coby Hanoch, told All About Circuits that the progression was deliberate, with each stage increasing both process scale and industry credibility.
