Hynix Semiconductor Licenses ISi’s Z-RAM Memory Technology for DRAM Products
Innovative Silicon Inc., the developer of Z-RAM high-density memory intellectual property, and Hynix Semiconductor Inc. today announced that Hynix has agreed to license ISi’s Z-RAM for use in its DRAM chips. Z-RAM-based DRAMs will use a single transistor bitcell – rather than a combination of transistors and capacitor elements – representing the first fundamental DRAM bitcell change since the invention of the DRAM in the early 1970s. Hynix...
2006 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation Presented to Innovative Silicon
The 2006 Frost & Sullivan Product Innovation Award in the field of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology was presented to Innovative Silicon Inc. for the invention of the capacitorless memory device that overcomes the limitation in scaling dynamic random access memory (DRAM) for future memory needs.
Murata's PRF thermistor series protects power FETs in multiple locations in POL converter applications
The latest addition to Murata's PRF family of chip ceramic thermistors (POSISTORs) is the PRF18xx5RB series, designed for overheat detection of power FETs in point of load (POL) DC-DC converters and other power supply applications. Each part has two temperature sensing points and features characteristic curves that rise very sharply. The series has a resistance of 470 at 25C, rising to 4.7K between 65 and 145C, rising further to 47k between 80 an...
FastFET OP Amp from Analog Devices
Analog Devices has introduced one of the industry’s fastest field-effect transistor (FET) operational amplifier currently available. Operating at 1 GHz, the ADA4817 was designed for high-performance medical diagnostic and portable devices, as well as instrumentation equipment. It provides twice as much bandwidth with half the noise of competing devices. It is already designed in at top medical and test and measurement companies for applicati...
Texas Instruments and Ramtron advance FRAM technology to 130 nanometer process
Texas Instruments and Ramtron International Corporation have announced a significant milestone in the development of FRAM technology that has resulted in a commercial manufacturing agreement for FRAM memory products. The agreement provides for the production of Ramtron’s FRAM memory products on TI’s advanced 130 nanometer (nm) FRAM manufacturing process, including Ramtron’s 4-megabit (Mb) FRAM memory announced concurrently in a separate p...
Step-down converter helps backplane-based equipment designers
AnalogicTech has introduced the AAT1160, a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 3A output from a 12V input. Combining high power efficiency levels and a very low 150 microamps quiescent current, the AAT1160 offers power savings in a variety of industrial applications, especially those using backplanes, as well as portable systems running off two-cell Lithium-ion batteries.
