Carl, You forgot to mention that (unlike our favorite company) Ramtron's EDRAM uses simple and sound principles, which actually do significantly improve performance. Scumbria

Hi all; More from EE-Times, possible future alternative to DRAM sampling from Ramtron. (Where's NightOwl?): 256-kbit ferroelectric RAMs sampling Ramtron International Corp. [Nasdaq RMTR] is sampling a 256-kbit ferroelectric RAM with an industry-standard two-wire interface. Since the technology operates like conventional RAMs but also provides nonvolatile storage, director of marketing Michael Alwais suggested that the MF24C256 can serve as a costeffective replacement for battery-backed SRAMs. Applications include utility metering and real-time configuration storage. ... The FM24C256 is manufactured on a 0.5-micron FRAM line and operates on low power, without the need for a charge pump or other circuit overhead. Samples are available in 20-pin small-outline packages. The memory is priced from $3.90 in quantities of 10,000. techweb.com -- Carl

Sorry Carl, I thought it would be more fun to wait until hospitals replace the "circumcision ritual" with the "FRAM insertion ritual". ...I just love a surprise endings. :8) Besides the jury is still way, way, out on RMTR. If RMBS wins this litigation, INTC will probably take their three FRAM patents and claim a 20 percent share of all sales from everybody. ...Then again - if RMBS loses Fujitsu, Samsung, Rohm and Hitachi will probably kiss little RMTR and her piddly little royalties good-bye. <g> Plus you failed to point out the regular dilutions, punctuated by the stark terror of 5 to 1 reverse splits, and all capped off by INTC IDIOT's adopting hot bricks as their "next" memory standard thereby precluding the "INTC Says So" crowd from utilizing RMTR products. No these Rambus'ers have far better things to do with their time and money than hang out at the INN. <g> 0\|0
