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.

Ramtron has announced the release of its new F-RAM memory module (TWR-FRAM) that is compatible for use with Freescale Semiconductor’s popular Tower System development platform. Ramtron F-RAM core memory and integrated products are ideal for applications that require high data integrity and ultra-low power consumption — aligning perfectly with Freescale’s target markets in automotive, industrial, enabling technologies and networking.

Cypress have today unveiled a new family of 16-Mbit non-volatile static random access memories, including devices with synchronous NAND flash memory interfaces. The family marks the industry’s first non-volatile SRAM memory that can interface directly with Open NAND Flash Interface and Toggle NAND bus controllers.

Microchip announces the expansion of its comprehensive Multi-Purpose Flash Plus portfolio with the introduction of four new compact 512K x16 parallel Flash CMOS devices: the SST39VF401C, SST39F402C, SST39LF401C and the SST39LF402C. Manufactured with high-performance CMOS SuperFlash technology, these low-power, 2.7-3.6V, x16 parallel NOR Flash devices feature a split-gate design and thick-oxide tunnelling injector for superior reliability and ...

AgigA Tech, a subsidiary of Cypress, has today unveiled its third-generation DDR3 AGIGARAM Non-Volatile DIMM solution supporting up to 1600 MT/s (megatransfers per second) performance. In addition, AgigA Tech announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has recently issued U.S. Patent Nos. 8,200,885 and 8,200,929 pertaining to Hybrid Non-Volatile RAM technology, adding to the company’s rapidly growing patent portfolio.

Toshiba has revealed today that it will expand its family of EXCERIA memory cards with new microSD versions offering the industry’s leading performance in this format. EXCERIA (derived from a combination of “excellent” and “experience”) offers cards compliant with the UHS-I Memory Card Standard. The minimum recording speed is compliant with UHS speed class 1 and SD speed class 10.

Greenliant has announced today that it is sampling its industrial temperature SATA and PATA interface NANDrive embedded solid state drives using 2-bits-per-cell (MLC) NAND flash memory. The new NANDrive devices are the first ball grid array package SATA / PATA SSDs based on MLC NAND that are capable of operating at temperatures between -40 to +85 degrees Celsius.

IDT has unveiled the industry’s first NVM Express enterprise flash memory controller with native support for PCIe Gen 3. IDT’s NVMe flash controller family provides a standards-based solid-state drive solution, enabling storage and server original equipment manufacturers to overcome latency and throughput bottlenecks inherent to legacy SAS/SATA-based SSD designs.

To streamline the operation of machine rooms and cut down on hosting fees, many enterprises adopt compact 1U rack servers for a smaller machinery footprint, decrease in cost and increase in processing speeds. The purpose is to achieve a more efficient management on the part of IT personnel.

Plextor has today released details of the forthcoming M5 Pro Series, a new performance line of SSDs due to launch this September across UK and Europe. The M5 Pro has been engineered with prosumers, businesses, and SMEs in mind.
