FCRAM uses a new memory architecture to achieve operating cycle times two to three times faster than conventional DRAMs, according to the memory makers. The two companies will jointly design 64-, 128- and 256-Mbit FCRAMs for use as special-purpose memories in personal digital assistants, printers, set-top boxes and other multimedia devices. Sample shipments are scheduled to begin by the end of 1999, with commercial production of 64Mbit FCRAMs to start in the first quarter of 2000....

Fujitsu informed us last week about the latest of its Fast Cycle RAM (FCRAM) series, a group of 256Mbit, high-speed memories that incorporate the Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM interface. Fujitsu informed us last week about the latest of its Fast Cycle RAM (FCRAM) series, a group of 256Mbit, high-speed memories that incorporate the Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM interface. The new FCRAMs, were developed with Toshiba, and Fujitsu says they are designed for high-performance network systems that require very high capacities and speeds of up to 200MHz. The new 2.5V FCRAMs are divided into the A Series (154MHz) and B Series (200MHz). All of the new FCRAMs are packaged in 66-pin Thin Small Outline Packages (TSOPs). ...

Fujitsu Microelectronics is now putting forth a stacked multi-chip package integrating 64Mbit dual-operation Flash memory and 32Mbit Mobile FCRAM, that it says is designed to provide low power, high density memory for cell phones. Fujitsu Microelectronics is now putting forth a stacked multi-chip package integrating 64Mbit dual-operation Flash memory and 32Mbit Mobile FCRAM, that it says is designed to provide low power, high density memory for cell phones. The MB84VD23483EJ combines the NOR-type Flash memory and mobile FCRAM with an SRAM-compatible asynchronous interface. The gadget offers a maximum power consumption of only five microamps in standby mode, while the mobile FCRAM consumes just 10 microamps in power-down mode and 100 microamps during operating conditions. Flash read and program access times are typically 16ns and access time for FCRAM is typically 90ns....
