Inapac Announces New 32Mb Stacked DRAM Design
Ideal for Use in Cellular Handset, Mobile TV and Broadband Wireless Applications
| Source: Inapac
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - October 16, 2007) - Inapac Technology, Inc., a leading provider of
DRAM solutions optimized for system-in-package (SiP) and multi-chip-package
(MCP) devices, today announced the addition of a new 32Mb (megabit) SDRAM
design to its family of products. The new memory chip design is cost- and
feature-optimized to meet the requirements of mobile wireless applications,
including media and image processors, WiMAX basebands and digital TV
demodulators. Inapac estimates that the total cost of incorporating the
32Mb DRAM die into a SiP/MCP solution will be less than $0.60 in volume
production in 2008.
"This new 32Mb design makes it easier and more cost-efficient to create
SiPs for a new generation of mobile handset applications," said Naresh
Baliga, vice president of marketing for Inapac. "It is bond-pad compatible
with our existing 32Mb design, offering our customers a seamless transition
path to lower power and reduced cost."
The chip design is based on Inapac's proven, high-volume SiPFLOW™
platform, which incorporates a unique design-for-test (DFT) architecture
and production methodology that enables SiP/MCP suppliers to minimize costs
while achieving exceptional levels of production quality and reliability.
With tens of millions of units produced to date using Inapac's platform,
the company has consistently achieved industry-leading reliability rates of
less than 100 dppm (defective parts per million).
Configuration, Availability
The new Inapac 32Mb SDRAM design is fully characterized for production on
the ProMOS 0.12-micron manufacturing process, and can be used for SiP/MCP
implementations in stacked (die-to-die or die-to-substrate) configurations
in all typical SiP/MCP package types (BGA, QFP, etc.). Samples are
available now, along with the full suite of Inapac's SiPFLOW platform
deliverables.
