Doug; RMTR News Monday November 9, 10:48 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Enhanced Memory Systems Low Latency DRAM Wins Patent Coverage Worldwide COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1998--Enhanced Memory Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramtron International Corporation (Nasdaq: RMTR - news), has been notified that two of its low latency DRAM patent applications that protect its Enhanced DRAM (EDRAM(R)) memory technology have been allowed in Europe and Japan. Enhanced also received notice of allowance for a third United States patent that protects core features of its low latency DRAM technology. Enhanced was previously issued two fundamental low latency patents covering the technology in the United States. These new patents along with those already issued solidify Enhanced fast DRAM intellectual property worldwide. ''With worldwide patent protection in place for our low latency DRAM technology, we're now poised to work with other DRAM manufacturers who wish to add value to their products by incorporating our low latency intellectual property,'' said Craig Rhodine, Enhanced Vice President and General Manager. ''These patents protect our inventions that make ESDRAM products SDRAM compatible with significantly lower latency and higher clock rate,'' said David Bondurant, Enhanced Vice President of Marketing. ''We expect future double data rate and packet-based DRAM products to use this technology to achieve better sustained bandwidth under real world conditions.'' ESDRAM Products Enhanced began shipping its high performance 4MB EDRAM product in 1992 and announced the development of an advanced 133 MHz synchronous ESDRAM in November 1996. US patents were awarded to Enhanced in 1997 and earlier this year covering the key architecture and method of operation that allows the EDRAM and ESDRAM to achieve industry-leading performance. Patents have now been approved in Japan and Europe. Enhanced has additional patent applications pending that relate to this technology. Enhanced recently sued NEC for patent infringement in San Jose, CA. This suit alleges that NEC's Virtual Channel Memory violates a low latency patent owned by Enhanced. Enhanced has ESDRAM manufacturing agreements with Siemens Semiconductors and IBM Microelectronics, and is pursuing other strategic partnerships to advance its ESDRAM technology in the marketplace. EDRAM and ESDRAM products serve the DRAM, specialty DRAM and fast SRAM markets, which are expected to grow to more than $56 billion by the year 2001, according to In-Stat, a leading semiconductor research firm. Ramtron/Enhanced Memory Systems, Inc. Enhanced Memory Systems develops and markets patented EDRAM(R) high performance specialty memories that combine fast DRAM and SRAM on one chip. Enhanced is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramtron International Corporation (Nasdaq: RMTR - news).
