Ramtron has launched what it says is the first 4-megabit (Mb) FRAM memory – the highest-density FRAM product, with quadruple the FRAM memory capacity available to date. The FM22L16 is a 4Mb, 3-volt, parallel non-volatile RAM in a 44-pin thin small outline plastic (TSOP) package that features fast access, virtually unlimited read/write cycles and low power consumption. Pin-compatible with asynchronous static RAM (SRAM), the FM22L16 targets indu...

STMicroelectronics has announced the addition of a new 32-Mbit device which is Automotive Grade certified for operation over the full -40 to +125 degrees C temperature range. The M29W320 is intended particularly for dashboard systems, automotive multimedia and for other applications needing fast access to a large amount of code and data.

STMicroelectronics today announced the availability of the 65nm PR family of NOR Flash memory. Based on fourth-generation multi-level-cell (MLC) technology, the 65nm PR family is fully hardware and software compatible with the existing 90nm NOR Flash PR family, providing an easy migration path for customers, while offering increased memory density and improved performance.

QuickLogic Europe announces the introduction of a full featured NAND Flash memory controller solution for its ultra-low power programmable logic families. One of many storage solutions offered by QuickLogic, the NAND solution is designed to interface with a host of application processors used in portable applications, such as the Marvell PXA2xx applications processor and Analog Devices' Blackfin DSP. This introduction extends the spectrum of Quic...

Microchip has announce it has expanded its SPI serial EEPROM family with the 32 Kbit 25AA320A and 25LC320A devices. The new devices are capable of operating at bus speeds of up to 10MHz, and are available in a range of packages, including the very low-profile MSOP and TSSOP. The new devices also offer Microchip’s high endurance, quality, on-time delivery and short lead times as standard.

STMicroelectronics has announced a new 1-Mbit serial EEPROM – the M24M01 – which is available in the tiny SO8N package with 150-mil (3.8mm) body width. This serial EEPROM is said to be the only device in the market to squeeze this high memory density into such a small package. Also offered in SO8W, the chip, with its I2C two-wire serial interface, is intended for applications such as consumer electronics products and medical equipment which ...

Toshiba Corporation, reinforcing its leadership in the development and fabrication of powerful, high density NAND flash memory, has announced the introduction of 16Gb (2 gigabyte) and 8Gb (1 gigabyte) NAND flash memory, fabricated with cutting-edge 56-nanometer process technology co-developed with SanDisk Corporation.

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced the latest enhancement to its extensive line-up of SD Memory Cards: a 4-gigabyte (GB) Class 6 SDHC Card; a 4GB Class 4 miniSDHC Card; and a 2GB microSD Memory Card. The new SDHC and miniSDHC cards will be available worldwide from March, and the microSD will be launched worldwide during April.

Ramtron International Corporation, has announced that its FM25C160 – a 16Kbit, 5V, SPI FRAM memory device – has been qualified to AEC-Q100 (Automotive Electronic Council’s Stress Test Qualification for Integrated Circuits) standards. The FM25C160 is the third FRAM device to be AEC-Q100-qualified as part of its aggressive automotive qualification programme. Ramtron is also currently developing various FRAM configurations specified for the ...

SST (Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.), today rounded out its 1.8V low-density flash product portfolio with the announcement of a 16 Mbit Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) device. The SST39WF160x is the first 1.8V product in SST's MPF+ family. The devices, which are manufactured with SST's proprietary, high-performance CMOS SuperFlash technology, complement the MPF+ product family with reduced power consumption, making them ideal for portable appli...
