TAICHUNG, Taiwan – November 9, 2020 – Winbond Electronics Corporation, a leading global supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, announced today that TrustME^® W77Q Secure Flash has been selected by ASPENCORE analysts and their user community worldwide as one of the winners of 2020 ASPENCORE World Electronics Achievement Awards (WEAA) and received the “Outstanding Product Performance of the Year” award.

The W77Q Secure Flash memory is a revolutionary, drop-in replacement for existing Flash devices, supporting secure storage, secure boot, root-of-trust and resilience, and providing strong protection for operations such as over-the-air updates and device authentication
The W77Q ensures robust, end-to-end security in IoT devices by enabling:

• Secure Storage
• Secure code updates, including over-the-air updates, via an end-to-end secure channel between an update authority and the W77Q even when the host processor or SoC has been compromised.
• Secure boot and root-of-trust
• Authenticated and encrypted data transfer between the Flash device and the host
• Secure Execute-in-Place (XiP) of boot and application code
• System resilience, supporting the key security functions of protection, detection and recovery

Winbond is proud that ASPENCORE recognized its W77Q as the industry’s best Secure Flash device with this award. Winbond’s W77Q Serial Flash contains all the elements required for a safe and resilient IoT with no changes to customer’s platform design. The W77Q series products are supplied in industry-standard packages and pin-outs, supporting standard single/dual/quad/QPI serial peripheral interface (SPI) command set, and allowing a simple drop-in replacement for non-secure SPI NOR Flash devices from all major vendors.

The first W77Q part, in densities of 16Mbit and 32Mbit, is available for sampling now. More information may be found at www.winbond.com.
