SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct 17, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISSI), a leading supplier of high performance SRAMs, announced that it has joined the Sigma RAM Group in support of its efforts to standardize new SRAM architectures. In addition to ISSI, currently there are seven other members in the Sigma RAM Group.
ISSI expects that rapid growth of demand for high speed SRAMs will be driven by networks and telecommunications, and that customers in these market sectors want next generation industry standard SRAMs from multiple sources. "Many OEMs endorsed our Sigma RAM product roadmap, and some of our existing customers have urged ISSI to develop Sigma RAM products as soon as possible," said ISSI's Tom Doczy, senior vice president of sales and marketing. Doczy also added that the Sigma SRAMs would complement ISSI's large family of pipelined, flow-through and no-wait-state synchronous SRAM products, which the company currently sells to networking and telecom customers.
"ISSI plans to develop a complete portfolio of Sigma RAM compatible 1.8 volt SRAMs, starting with the 250MHz (and later, 333MHz), 16-Mbit devices with common I/O, x18, x36, and x72 data bus width, followed by separate I/O devices," said Sanjiv Asthana, ISSI's vice president of marketing. Asthana further added that these products cover single-data-rate (SDR) and double-data-rate (DDR) platforms to meet varying performance requirements.
The first Sigma RAM devices from ISSI will meet the 1.8V and 1.5V I/O specifications. Data-sheets for these devices are already available. Samples are expected to be available in the second half of 2001
