Toshiba announced that it today started mass production of NAND flash memories fabricated with 24nm process technology. This latest technology advance has already been applied to 2bit-per-cell 64-gigabit (Gb) chips that are the world’s smallest and offer the highest density on a single chip (8 gigabytes (GB), and which are available from today. Toshiba will also add 32Gb and 3bit per cell products fabricated with the 24nm process technology to ...

Cypress’s anti-tamper memory, based on nonvolatile static RAM (nvSRAM) technology, has unique features that protect SRAM and nonvolatile data from accidental or malicious intrusion. It also provides the fastest nvSRAM function.

Toshiba announced the launch of a 128-gigabyte (GB) embedded NAND flash memory module, the highest capacity yet achieved in the industry. The module is fully compliant with the latest e•MMCTM standard, and is designed for application in a wide range of digital consumer products, including smartphones, tablet PCs and digital video cameras. Samples will be available from September, and mass production will start in the fourth quarter (October to...

ACAL Technology is offering high speed SRAM using a unique manufacturing process which will enable OEMs and CEMs to cut current lead-times of 18 to 35 weeks, from other vendors, to just 8 to 14 weeks for the second-source GSI alternatives.

Ramtron announced that its FM25V10-G – a 1-Megabit (Mb), 2.0-3.6V serial F-RAM memory device – has been qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 standards. This rigorous automotive-grade qualification, established by the Automotive Electronic Council’s Stress Test Qualification for Integrated Circuits, expands Ramtron’s portfolio of AEC-Q100 compliant memory to 15 devices, which are designed to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive mark...

Cypress Semiconductor just introduced 32-Mbit and 64-Mbit fast asynchronous SRAMs, the industry’s first such devices. The new SRAMs offer very fast response times and the smallest footprint at these densities. They target applications such as storage servers, switches and routers, testing equipment, high-end security systems and military systems.
