Highest density for 32Mbit synchronous SRAMs
Three new 32Mbit synchronous SRAMs that give the highest density available in a single package are being introduced by design-in specialist GD Technik.
The IDE15 family is a new category of nonvolatile, mass memory storage devices built with Intel StrataFlash components.
Use of the random access memory components is a new approach providing increased data storage reliability.
Intel's StrataFlash is a leading Flash technology incorporating multilevel cell (MLC) storage techniques.
This MLC technology currently allows two bits of information to be stored in one memory cell.
It is expected that this technology will lead to future developments and provide higher capacity, higher data storage ability, and the best price per megabyte ratio.
The new IDE15 Flash drives operate at 5V, providing low power data storage.
They are currently available in capacities up to 128Mbyte, with higher densities anticipated in the future.
They fit into standard disk drive bays, support the industry standard IDE interface, and can be used in a wide range of computer applications.
As there are no moving parts, the drives are inherently shock and vibration resistant and perform reliably even under harsh environmental conditions.
This makes them ideal for mobile computing and critical data storage applications.
IDE15 flash drives address the constant demand for high capacity data storage in high reliability systems, such as communications and medical instrumentation, where data integrity is a primary consideration.
