MCP (1) See Microsoft certification. (2) (MultiChip Package) A chip package that contains two or more chips. It is essentially a multichip module (MCM) that uses a laminated, printed-circuit-board-like substrate (MCM-L) rather than ceramic (MCM-C). , at 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 13-16, 2006 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 NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :MU), a worldwide provider of advanced memory and image sensor An image sensor is a device that converts a visual image to an electric signal. It is used chiefly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. It is usually an array of charge-coupled devices (CCD) or CMOS sensors such as active-pixel sensors. solutions, today announced its new line of multichip package (MCP) memory for use in feature-rich mobile phones. Driven by the need for increased speed, extended functionality, and reduced package size, feature-rich 2.5G and 3G handset designs require flexible, high-capacity memory subsystems. By combining Micron's NAND flash memory with its Mobile DRAM featuring Endur-IC(TM) technology in the same package, designers now have a convenient option to include quality Micron memory direct from the company into their high-performance handset designs. "As a complete mobile memory subsystem provider, Micron devices are increasingly capturing more property on many of today's popular mobile phones," said Achim Hill, senior director marketing for Micron's Mobile Memory Group. "To meet the market's increasing demand for high density, small form factor, and low power devices, it's a natural evolution for Micron to further support the industry by creating a powerful NAND (Not AND) A Boolean logic operation that is true if any single input is false. Two-input NAND gates are often used as the sole logic element on gate array chips, because all Boolean operations can be created from NAND gates. See flash memory. and DRAM packaging combination." Micron will showcase its new MCP and mobile memory portfolio at the 3GSM World Congress, held February 13-16, 2006 in Barcelona, Spain. A variety of Micron image sensor and mobile memory product demonstrations will take place at its booth on the exhibit floor in hall one, space C66. "MCP's will continue to expand beyond wireless handsets into emerging mobile multimedia devices, further driving the need for reliable, cost-effective solutions," added Hill. "Micron can deliver design-in support across the product spectrum from die to software and packaging, offering a total quality solution." Micron's high-quality, high-density NAND and Mobile DRAM MCP devices are currently sampling to select customers and are expected to be available in 1Gb NAND/512Mb Mobile DDR DRAM configurations for production in Q4 2006.
