I guess my point was they used this news FROM NO From: NightOwl 10/15/2007 10:06:14 AM of 13596 This is a flat out LIE: SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:CY) today introduced a 4-Mbit non-volatile static random access memory (nvSRAM). The new device features access times as low as 15 ns, infinite read, write and recall cycles, and 20-year data retention, making it ideal for applications requiring continuous high-speed writing of data and absolute non-volatile data security including RAID applications, harsh environment industrial controls, and data logging functions in automotive, medical and data communications systems. The nvSRAMs offer the best alternative for fast, non-volatile memory. They reduce board space and design complexity compared to battery-backed SRAMs, and are more economical and reliable than magnetic (MRAM) or ferroelectric (FRAM) memories. The new products are the latest in a series of nvSRAMs from Cypress, which include 256K- and 1-Mbit nvSRAM devices currently shipping in production volumes. Further introductions are expected in the first half of 2008. home.businesswire.com . This so called "NVSRAM" can only manage 200k non-volatile write cycles... it's scarcely better than Simtek's wannabee combo chips... and it certainly doesn't even compare to F-RAM's board/design efficiencies and relies on software "complexities" to work at all:download.cypress.com.edgesuite.net 0|0 and wondered if it was sort of the same thing. Ok. I'm in over my head on this one Jim. LOL!!! We're they doing something similar to what they are doing to RMTR now?
