Cypress, Infineon, and Micron Welcome New Members to Co-Develop CellularRAM(TM) Product Specification.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- The CellularRAM(TM) work group today announced the addition of Hynix Semiconductor Inc., NanoAmp Solutions, Inc., and Winbond Electronics Corporation to its membership. The new members will join Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY), Infineon Technologies For the raceway, see . Infineon Technologies AG (ISIN: DE0006231004, FWB: IFX, NYSE: IFX) was founded in April 1999 when the semiconductor operations of parent company, Siemens AG, were spun off to form a separate legal entity. (FWB (Fixed Wireless Broadband) See fixed wireless. :IFX IFX - ["Type Reconstruction with First-Class Polymorphic Values", J. O'Toole et al, SIGPLAN Notices 24(7):207-217 (Jul 1989)]. ) (NYSE:IFX), and Micron Technology Micron Technology ("Micron") NYSE: MU is a multinational company based in Boise, Idaho, USA, best known for producing many forms of semiconductor devices. This includes DRAM, SDRAM, flash memory, and CMOS image sensing chips. , Inc. (NYSE:MU), to create common specifications for high-performance pseudo-SRAM (PSRAM PSRAM Pseudo-Static Random Access Memory PSRAM Pseudo Static Ram ) devices designed to meet the growing memory density and bandwidth demands of future 2.5G and 3G handset designs. The CellularRAM work group said in a joint statement, "We are pleased to welcome Hynix, NanoAmp, and Winbond to the CellularRAM work group and look forward to their system expertise and product direction contributions. Through their participation, these companies strengthen our objective to provide customers with a standardized solution that meets multi-sourced, low-power, and high-performance requirements." "With Hynix, Winbond, and NanoAmp Solutions joining Cypress, Infineon, and Micron, all of the major semiconductor manufacturing regions are now represented by co-developers of the CellularRAM specification," said Adrienne Downey, Senior Analyst at Semico Research Corp. "This is significant because it clearly shows that the CellularRAM specification has gained strong momentum as the ubiquitous solution for PSRAMs in mobile phones." The CellularRAM work group has developed three generations of specifications for high-bandwidth devices ranging in densities of 16 megabit (Mb) to 256Mb. Continuing to elevate the standard for performance and low power in diverse mobile applications, the group is currently working on a fourth generation specification to further enhance suitability of CellularRAM architecture-based products for use with high-bandwidth baseband and application processors. CellularRAM devices are currently available. To learn more about the densities and configurations available, visit www.cellularram.com.
