QP Semiconductor Introduces High-Speed CMOS UV PROM Replacements for Popular Cypress PROMs; Pin-for-Pin Replacements Cover Full Mil-temperature Range.SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- QP Semiconductor today introduced a family of CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. UV PROMS that feature low-power consumption and high speeds to 15 ns. The devices are complete redesigns of the popular Cypress high-speed PROMs. Available initially in hermetic packages for military, aerospace and industrial applications, plastic versions could also be available based on customer demand. "When we reviewed the world demand for UV PROMs we realized that there would soon be a shortage of certain part numbers," said Jim Townsend, director, marketing. "So we embarked on a program to redesign pin-for-pin equivalent devices. We picked the parts that we felt had the widest appeal and also had demonstrated demand. Our business practice is to provide solutions to our customers for obsolete and hard-to-get parts and this redesign effort should serve our customers well." The family offers the advantage of high-speed, low-power and proven high programming yield. They are all eight-bit wide memories available either as a one-time-programmable (OTP (1) (One Time Programmable) Refers to programming content or logic into chips such as EPROMs and EEPROMs, which cannot be reversed. See antifuse. (2) (One Time P ) device or in a windowed package to allow for reprogrammability. The memory cells utilize proven CMOS PROM floating-gate technology. The I/Os are TTL (1) (Time To Live) A parameter in a network packet that sets a time limit to its validity. In order to prevent an IP packet from propagating endlessly through the network, the value in the TTL field is reduced by each router. compatible. The table below provides an overview of the new family types:

About QP Semiconductor QP Semiconductor is a privately held California company founded in 1985. The company was initially formed to provide semiconductor assembly, electrical test and qualification services to the military, aerospace and high reliability industries. Over the last seven years, the company has evolved into a true fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. that designs, re-engineers and provides a full range of manufacturing capabilities to extend the life of classic ICs for a host of mission-critical programs. The company focuses on providing replacement hermetic parts for DMS (1) (Document Management System) See document management. (2) (Defense Messaging System) An X.500-compliant messaging system developed by the U.S. Dept. of Defense. , (Diminished Manufacturing Sources) and EOL (1) (End Of Line) A character that signals the end of the current line of text or commands. (2) (End Of Life) Refers to the planned demise of a hardware or software product due to its natural evolution from utility to (End of Life) products. QP Semiconductor ranks today as one of the largest fabless manufacturers of high-reliability hermetic ICs for military & aerospace systems. The company provides over 9% of all QML part numbers listed by the Defense Supply Center, Columbus The Defense Supply Center, Columbus, also called DSCC, is one of three Inventory Control Points of the Defense Logistics Agency. The base has been affected several times by the United States Base Realignment and Closure program. (DSCC). QP Semiconductor is headquartered in Santa Clara, California Santa Clara, California (IPA: /ˌsæntəˈklærə/) , founded in 1777 and incorporated in 1852, is a city in Santa Clara County, in the U.S. state of California. with sales representation throughout the world.
