SANTA CLARA, CA -- 04/17/08 --
Kilopass
Technology, Inc., a leading provider of semiconductor non-volatile
memory (NVM) intellectual property (IP), today announced that its
extra-permanent memory (XPM)
technology is the first high density embedded NVM technology to
complete qualification for 80nm and 90nm process technologies with the
successful qualification of its XPM-80GC and XPM-90LP product families.
Both XPM product families passed all the certification criteria and are now
available for mass production.
XPM technology's scalability makes it possible for Kilopass to quickly
support new process technologies for low power, high volume consumer
products.
"Our ability to quickly port XPM memory technology to a new process
technology with higher performance, larger storage capacities, and smaller
footprints gives us an edge in the competitive, consumer-oriented market
and highlights the high-density process scalability of our XPM technology,"
remarked Craig Rawlings, Director of Marketing, Kilopass Technology.
The 80GC process is an 80-nanometer "half-node" process. It sits between
the 90-nm and the 65-nm. The XPM-80GC underlying CMOS process provides
higher performance for general purpose applications while the XPM-90LP
underlying CMOS process provides both low active and standby power for
handheld and mobile applications. Target applications for the 80nm and 90nm
processes include general purpose consumer as well and mobile and wireless
applications.
By passing Kilopass' rigorous foundry partner certification criteria,
customers are able to review credible evidence, validating that XPM is a
proper fit for high volume manufacturing applications and product
applications requiring proven reliability.
