Discontinued synchronous DRAMs get new lease of life
Alliance Memory has partnered with Micron Semiconductor to supply and extend availability of support for three 512M synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) devices that Micron discontinued with Micron PCN #30995. Alliance Memory will be offering Micron's 32M x 16 MT48LC32M16A2P-75:C (commercial temperature), 32M x 16 MT48LC32M16A2P-75 IT:C (industrial temperature), and 64M x 8 MT48LC64M8A2P-75:C.
Low power memory targets LCD drivers
To reach the stringent low power requirements of LCD Drivers and Touch Screen Controllers, Dolphin Integration has launched a foundry sponsored Single port RAM for the UMC 110 nm embedded flash process. Fabless companies targeting these applications have huge constraints both in terms of power consumption and area.
World’s smallest-class embedded NAND Flash memory
Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched what it claims to be the world’s smallest-class of embedded NAND flash memory products integrating NAND chips fabricated with cutting-edge 15nm process technology. The e-MMC NAND chips are designed for applications including smartphones, tablets and wearable devices.
Regulator generates DDR2, 3, 3L & 4 SDRAM voltages
Capable of generating the bus termination voltages needed by DDR 2, 3, 3L and 4 SDRAM memory systems, a low-dropout linear regulator has been released by Diodes Incorporated. The AP2303 regulator, which is suitable for next-gen set-top boxes, mother boards and graphics cards, continuously sources and sinks current up to 1.75A.
32-bit MCUs enhanced with larger memory capacity
Expanding the 31 devices in its RX111 Group of 32-bit MCUs, Renesas has introduced versions with larger memory capacities for applications including healthcare devices, industrial equipment and building automation systems. The 15 enhanced MCUs offer flash memory capacity to 512KB and RAM capacity to 64KB.
DDR SDRAMs extend battery life in compact portable devices

The AS4C16M16MD1, AS4C32M16MD1, AS4C16M32MD1, AS4C64M16MD1, AS4C32M32MD1 and AS4C64M32MD1 modules are available in 256Mb, 512Mb, 1Gb and 2Gb and feature low power consumption of 1.7-1.95V.
IDT receives OEM supplier qualification for DDR4 chipset
Integrated Device Technology has received OEM and memory supplier qualification for it's DDR4 chipset on enterprise servers designed with the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 family. By supporting the latest generation of DDR technologies, the DDR4 server memory interface chipsets enable faster data rates at higher densities on RDIMMs and Load-Reduced DIMMS (LRDIMMs) supported by the Intel Xeon product family.
CMOS SDRAMs and mobile SDRAMs to be exhibited at electronica
High-speed CMOS SDRAMs and mobile low-power DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAMs, which feature a wide range of densities, configurations, package options and temperature ratings, are to be exhibited at electronica 2014 in Hall A5, Booth 224. The drop-in, pin-for-pin-compatible devices, manufactured by Alliance Memory, are suitable for use products requiring high memory bandwidth.
DDR4 DRAM modules target the IoT
Suitable for server, consumer workstation and gaming PC applications, the DDR4 DRAM modules from ADATA support Intel Haswell-EP series processors. The company have designed the modules in such a way as to provide high performance, scalability, power efficiency and reliability.
DDR4 memory features a work clock rate of 2133Mbps
DDR4 memory is replacing DDR3 and being built-in to the motherboard of more and more commercial products including personal computers, servers, smartphones and tablet PCs. To adapt to the changing market trend, Apacer has released the DDR4 2133 4GB/8GB unbuffered DIMM.
