Kilopass Technology today announced Gusto-2, its second generation of code storage products, to serve the increasing numbers of new system-on-chip designs for instant-on mobile devices. The targeted SoCs perform functions, such as digital monitoring, near-field communications, and other applications serving the emerging market of Internet of things.

Kilopasshas today revealed details of its new embedded Vertical Cross-point Memory NVM IP bit cell. The new VCM bit cell quadruples the density of today’s anti-fuse NVM IP bit cell. The VCM bit cell will make possible program storage where today’s embedded non-volatile memory technology is cost-prohibitive or unavailable at capacities of 4Mb to 32Mb.

Kilopass today announced that it plans to appeal the summary judgement ruling recently issued in its patent infringement suit against Sidense. Kilopass’ decision to appeal rests in its conviction that Sidense’s products are infringing on Kilopass’ patents. The summary judgement order in this case relies on issues that are under dispute and should be decided by a jury as a matter of right.

Kilopass has today revealed that it has successfully expanded enablement of its eXtra Permanent Memory NVM IP on the Dongbu HiTek AN180 and BD180 Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS processes. Kilopass has also begun enablement of its XPM solutions at additional 180nm BCD foundries due to customer demand.

Kilopass Technology Inc. today announced that SoC designers can select any hard IP core—IP supplied as GDSII hard macro—from the entire library of Kilopass XPM (eXtra Permanent Memory) and Gusto NVM IP, drop it into a design for fabrication at any of eight top-tier foundries at the 130/110nm node.

Kilopass Technology Inc., and United Microelectronics Corporation have jointly announced that they have expanded their existing manufacturing license agreement. In addition to the 40nm low-power process in the current agreement, the extension will cover UMC technology processes spanning from 55nm to 130nm. Future plans include UMC’s 28nm High-K metal gate (HKMG) and Poly/SiOn processes, based upon customer demand. This technology roadmap suppo...

Kilopass Technology announced that its XPM IP is integrated into a Haier Set Top Box (STB) decoder SoC targeting the global high-growth STB market. Configuration data for mixed signal components are programmed in Kilopass XPM IP for each Haier SoC during final test and can be reprogrammed once installed to accommodate wear in the mixed signal components over time.

Kilopass Technology Inc., has announced that U.S. District Court has delivered a Markman Order favorable to Kilopass on all of the ten most disputed patent terms in its litigation against Sidense. This favorable result will help the jury understand more clearly Kilopass’ infringement case against Sidense in the upcoming trial in the spring of 2012.
