Simtek Pushes Density Envelope and Introduces New 8Mbit nvSRAM Product Family

Business Wire
Simtek Corporation (NASDAQ:SMTK), the inventor, pioneer, and
world�s leading supplier of non-volatile static random access
memory (nvSRAM) integrated circuits, today announced they are again
pushing nvSRAM densities higher with the introduction of a new
8Mbit family (STK14EE8 and STK14EE16) of nvSRAM products. Designed
for ease of use and unlimited read & write endurance, Simtek�s
STK14EE8 and STK14EE16 will double the top end nvSRAM density less
than a year after the company introduced their first 4Mbit products
using the same 130nm CMOS process. By expanding the nvSRAM density
reach, Simtek now offers an advanced non-volatile fast SRAM
solution for applications that previously relied on traditional
fast SRAM or expensive battery-backed SRAM solutions. �The 8Mbit
density represents another significant milestone on Simtek�s path
to both higher densities and problem-solving configurations in our
evolving non-volatile RAM offerings,� said Harold Blomquist, CEO
and president at Simtek. �We believe 8Mbit devices will become the
fastest growing nvRAM density market over the next few years. In
addition, using two of our nvSRAMs in the X16 configuration as
building blocks, we can now easily create 16Mbit memories where a
x32 bit bus structure is often preferred. Furthermore, our
continued collaboration with Cypress is quickly positioning
nvSRAM�s as the best �fast access� SRAM memory solution in the
world where non-volatile back-up is demanded at 8Mbit densities �
and beyond." Used for decades in military, industrial, medical,
automotive, and computer markets at smaller densities, nvSRAM
devices now have become the best solution for RAID write journals,
robotic axis tracking, and medical data logging, at the larger 4,
8, and 16Mbit sizes. The first applications for Simtek�s 8Mbit
products will include high end network routers, �instant on�
industrial control systems, soft-error event capture in processing
centers, and long history data logging and transaction processing
equipment in the industrial, medical, aviation, security, and
automotive markets. The 8Mbit devices are offered in a parallel
address and data bus format with data widths of both x8 and x16
bits. Read access and Read/Write cycle time grades are 25 and 45ns.
The nvSRAM�s high-speed SRAM architecture allows unlimited
read/write endurance, and its transparent non-volatile backup on
any power disruption offers an endurance rating of over 1 million
stores. Key Product Features: � 25, 45 ns Read Access and R/W Cycle
Time � Unlimited Read/Write SRAM Endurance � Automatic Non-Volatile
STORE on Power Loss � Non-Volatile STORE Under Hardware or Software
Control � Automatic RECALL to SRAM on Power Up � Unlimited RECALL
Cycles � 1M STORE Endurance � 20-Year Non-Volatile Data Retention �
Single 3.0V +20%, -10% Power Supply � Commercial (0 to 70oC) and
Industrial (-40 to 85oC) Temperature ranges The unmatched fast
access times and unlimited read/write SRAM performance, combined
with high reliability SONOS non-volatile storage, makes nvSRAM the
solution of choice for many applications. In addition, nvSRAM
devices emulate and replace fast SRAM in high-speed processor
systems to reduce wait states and optimize performance, while also
delivering the added benefit of backup protection for critical
state information. The x8 bit databus products are available in
both the 44-pin thin small outline package II (TSOPII) and 48-pin
ball grid array (BGA) packages. The x16 databus products are
available in both the 54-pin TSOPII and the 48-pin BGA package.
Pricing & Availability 1,000-unit pricing for the 45ns,
commercial grade, x8 bit databus product is $28.00 US. Samples will
be available in May and production shipments will begin in the
second half of 2008. About Simtek Corporation Simtek Corporation
