ot <<The SSTI super flash is an embedded flash memory design into a microcontroller IC. This has many advantages over older burn once-only on board memory technologies. It is not a removable flash storage card like compact flash or the multi-media card. However, SSTI does manufacture compact flash type cards also.>> rll. Thank you. I wanted to see if Rocky knew anything beyond the obvious. possibly he doesn't know this market. Comparing SSTI to SYQT? According to the company SSTI's thick oxide substrate design has allowed smaller cell structure, lower power consumption, higher functionality per logic chip being embedded per cell phone. They're apparently working through TSMC who sells to Q. SSTI in turn gets royalties from the sales (which is healthy profit margin). Interesting that Intel, one of their competitors, hasn't developed a product of equal effectiveness, even though Intel owns a chuck of this market. As you implied SNDK and SSTI are in the same market only through the sale of compact flash cards which is by design a small part of SSTI's future (relative to thier superflash designs). otherwise, SSTI's strength lies is in their oxide designs for 4mgb/8mgb low denisity market. How aggressively do you follow this market?
