EverSpin Technologies was spun off from Freescale Semiconductor in 2008 to provide magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) chips. EverSpin will focus on finding new applications for MRAM, a relatively new technology that Freescale began producing in 2006. The company was given Freescale's MRAM R&D, intellectual property, and some 200 patents to continue making 1Mb, 2Mb, and 4Mb chips. EverSpin is backed by several venture capital firms -- Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Epic Ventures, Lux Capital, New Venture Partners, and Sigma Partners. Freescale will still own a portion of the new company. EverSpin is located in Freescale's 8-inch wafer manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona.
