Cypress Non-Volatile SRAMs Win 2007 EE Times China ACE Award For Memory Product Of The Year.High-Speed nvSRAM Family Delivers High Endurance, Non-Volatile Memories Refers to memory chips that hold their content without power being applied. It may refer to chips that are not changeable, such as ROMs and PROMs, or to chips that can be rewritten many times such as flash memory. In RoHS-Compliant, Small-Footprint Packages with No Battery 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. -- 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) today announced that its non-volatile SRAMs (nvSRAMs) have been named Product of the Year in the Memory category of Global Source's EE Times-China Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards. The Products of the Year recognize leadership and excellence in product design, with awards going to the product or technology that significantly impacts or has a potential to impact mainland China's electronics market. Winners were chosen by a panel of industry experts and were announced at a gala coinciding with the 12th International IC-China Conference & Exhibition (IIC-China 2007). Cypress nvSRAMs internally store data when power is lost, with no battery required. The elimination of the external battery enables Cypress to deliver the RoHS-compliant, high-speed devices in smaller packages than alternative solutions. The nvSRAMs are ideal for any application requiring continuous high-speed writing of data and absolute non-volatile data security, such as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) applications, copiers, PoS terminals, handheld meters, and consumer electronics products. These nvSRAMs are the first in a family of devices being developed pursuant to Cypress's previously announced agreements with Simtek Corporation, the inventor and pioneer of nvSRAMs. "China is an important market for Cypress nvSRAMs, and we are pleased to have our technology recognized by EE Times-China," said Tom Surrette, vice president of the Non-Volatile Memory business unit for Cypress. "Customers have quickly recognized the advantages of non-volatile SRAMs over battery-backed solutions due to their infinite high speed write capabilities, RoHS compliance, ease of board layout and integration into the manufacturing flow." About Cypress nvSRAMs Cypress's nvSRAMs use a charge stored on an external capacitor instead of a battery, making the devices compatible with standard PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. assembly processes. The devices offer data retention for a minimum of 20 years. Operating with access times as fast as 25 ns, the nvSRAMS are available in 1-Mbit/3V, 256-Kbit/3V, 256-Kbit/5V, 64-Kbit/5V and 16-Kbit/5V configurations. The devices are highly scalable, with all of the configurations available in small 32-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. packages and the 1-Mbit and 256-Kbit devices also available in 48-pin SSOP SSOP Shrink Small Outline Package SSOP Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (USDA) SSOP Sanitary Standard Operating Procedures SSOP Sharescan-Open Platform (Ecopy) SSOP Site Security Operational Procedures packages. In RAID applications, nvSRAMs offer high-speed data transfer while ensuring data integrity in case of power outages This is a list of famous wide-scale power outages. 1965
