Numonyx produced NOR and NAND flash memory, like the 2008 introduced M29EW NOR Flash memory chip, as well as phase-change memory brought over from Intel and STMicroelectronics memory businesses. While the company initially stopped selling 5-V flash memory, which at the time was often used in the automotive industry, the M29F 5-V line was announced in early 2009. In 2009, Numonyx had a NOR flash memory market share of 34.6 %, making them the largest vendor in the segment.
