FRAM-based non-volatile state savers
Ramtron has launched what it says is the semiconductor industry’s first non-volatile state saver – a device that saves the state of signals on demand and restores them to the correct state automatically upon power up. FRAM technology uniquely enables this capability due to its fast write time and virtually unlimited write endurance. Ramtron’s new family of low-power, non-volatile state savers currently has two products: the FM1105, which...
Low-Power Advanced Memory Buffer
IDT (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.), has announced the third generation device in its Advanced Memory Buffer family, the Advanced Memory Buffer Plus (AMB+), which is said to offer the lowest power consumption available in the industry today - up to forty percent power savings over competitive AMB offerings. Compliant with the JEDEC AMB specifications, the IDT AMB+ device is an essential building block in Fully Buffered Dual In-line Memory Mo...

All-in-OneMemory technology provides a completely-managed memory subsystem for a wide range of embedded system applications, including multimedia-enabled cell...
STM's Serial EEPROM Families Now Available in 2 x 3mm MLP8 Packages
STMicroelectronics has announced that all of its Serial EEPROM devices, from 2 to 64-Kbit density – and from both the SPI and I2C interface series – are now available in the tiny 2 x 3mm MLP8 package, compared to the predecessor 4 x 5mm S08N package, enabling significant space and cost savings for portable consumer and communications products.
4-megabit non-volatile FRAM memory is industry first says Ramtron
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...
Automotive-Grade 32-Mbit NOR Flash Memory from STMicroelectronics
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 Announces Availability of 1-Gbit and 512-Mbit 65nm Multi-Level Cell NOR Flash, with Smallest Die Size Available on the Market
