SST today announced the industry’s first 1.8V, high-speed quad-bit serial flash memory. Featuring an 80 MHz operating frequency and a specialized instruction set, the new 26WF Series Serial Quad I/O (SQI) family of 4-bit multiplexed I/O serial interface devices enables execute-in-place (XIP) capability, allowing programs to be stored and executed directly from the flash memory without the need for code shadowing on an SRAM.

Cypress Semiconductor has announced the industry’s first monolithic SRAMs at 144-Mbit densities, the latest members of its 65-nm SRAM family. The new 144-Mbit QDRII, QDRII , DDRII and DDRII memories leverage 65-nm process technology developed with foundry partner UMC. They feature the market’s fastest available clock speed of 550 MHz and a total data rate of 80 Gbps in a 36-bit I/O width QDRII device, and consume half the power of 90-nm SRAMs...

Cypress Semiconductor has introduced a new 1-Mbit Serial non-volatile Static Random Access Memory (nvSRAM) family and new 4-Mbit and 8-Mbit nvSRAMs with an integrated real-time clock (RTC). Cypress’s nvSRAMs are manufactured on its S8™ 0.13-micron SONOS (Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon) embedded non-volatile memory technology, enabling greater densities and improved access times and performance. nvSRAMs are ideal solutions for applicatio...

AGIGA Tech Inc., a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor Corp., today introduced what it says is the market’s highest-density, high-speed non-volatile RAM system. The AGIGARAM non-volatile system’s (NVS) new CAPRI family delivers densities between 256 megabytes (2048 megabits) and 2 gigabytes (16 gigabits). The easy-to-use, turnkey family leverages a DDR2 SDRAM interface to deliver speeds up to 800 MHz with peak transfer rates equivalent to DR...

Pulsic Limited has announced that Toshiba Corporation will be extending its deployment of Pulsic tools and services in order to maximize efficiency and quality of results for the layout of their next generation Flash Memory designs.

ACAL Technology announce a new cross-matching service designed to eliminate extended lead-times for high-speed SRAM, and to future-proof designs by second-sourcing fit, form and function alternatives to virtually any existing SRAM.

Ramtron International Corporation, the leading developer and supplier of nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) and integrated semiconductor products, has announced two new serial nonvolatile F-RAM products that offer high-speed read/write performance, low voltage operation, and optional device features. The 256-Kilobit (Kb) devices, which are part of Ramtron’s V-Family of F-RAM products, include the FM24V02, a two-wire (I2C) in...

Ramtron has announced the availability of its 8-Megabit (Mb) F-RAM memory in a streamlined FBGA package. The FM23MLD16 is an 8-Mbit, 3-volt, parallel nonvolatile RAM in a 48-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package that features fast access, virtually unlimited read/write cycles and low power consumption. Pin-compatible with asynchronous static RAM (SRAM), the FM23MLD16 targets industrial control systems such as robotics, network RAID sto...

Renesas Technology Europe has announced the 72-Mbit Quad Data Rate II+ (QDR II+) and Double Data Rate II+ (DDRII+) high-speed SRAM product family for use in high-end routers and switches in next-generation communication networks. These SRAM products achieve the industry's fastest operating speed and are compliant with the QDR Consortium industry standard. The new family also includes 72-Mbit QDRII and DDR II SRAM devices. The full range of device...

STMicroelectronics has leveraged its advanced non-volatile memory technology to deliver an industry first with two new 512-Kbit devices that offer the highest density memories available in the industry-standard 2 x 3 x 0.6mm 8-pin Micro Leadframe Package (MLP). Pin compatibility with memories of lower density allows designers to upgrade products quickly and efficiently by changing devices without redesigning the board.
