SST AND QUALCOMM CDMA TECHNOLOGIES TO COLLABORATE ON FLASH Technology for CDMA Wireless Applications Business Editors/High Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 1999-- SST's SuperFlash Technology Selected to Enhance Emerging Wireless Applications for CDMA Handsets SST (Silicon Storage Technology, Inc., Nasdaq: SSTI) today announced a collaborative agreement with QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) for access to SST's proprietary flash memory technology, SuperFlash(R). Under the terms of this agreement, SST will provide QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies with design consultation services for best use of SuperFlash technology in QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies' application-specific designs. In return, SST will receive consultation from QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies on flash memory product features desirable for future CDMA solutions. SST's proprietary SuperFlash technology was selected by QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies because of its inherent embedded design advantages that include high reliability, low power consumption, scalability to finer process geometries and availability from multiple wafer foundries. SST's SuperFlash technology characteristics of small sector size make it ideal for both data and code storage of future generation portable communication devices. "We see a growing need for nonvolatile memory solutions that are simple to integrate into wireless communication devices," said Don Schrock, president of QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. "SST's SuperFlash technology provides the high level of performance and compatibility required to complement our industry-leading Mobile Station Modem (MSM(TM)) solutions." "We are extremely pleased that QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies has selected SuperFlash technology," stated Bing Yeh, president and chief executive officer of SST. "This collaborative agreement with QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies is one more example of SST's on-going commitment to establish SuperFlash as the technology-of-choice for embedded applications. We will put in significant effort to ensure the success of our agreement with QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. "QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies' expert guidance will enable us to develop better products to serve the needs of the CDMA cellular handset and the emerging wireless Internet access markets. This agreement is truly a win-win-win situation for both parties and consumers," added Mr. Yeh. About SuperFlash Technology SST's SuperFlash technology is a NOR type, split-gate cell architecture which uses a reliable thick-oxide process with fewer manufacturing steps resulting in a low-cost, nonvolatile memory solution with excellent data retention and higher reliability. The split-gate NOR SuperFlash architecture facilitates a simple and flexible design suitable for high performance, high reliability, small or medium sector size, in- or off-system programming and a variety of densities, all in a single CMOS-compatible technology.
