Fujitsu Unveils Two New High-Performance Mobile FCRAM Devices

Tokyo, September 18, 2002 - Fujitsu Limited today introduced two new low-power Mobile Fast Cycle RAMs (the MB82DPS02183B and MB82DP02322A) based on the company's FCRAMR architecture. These latest Application Specific Memories (ASMs) from Fujitsu go on sale today, with sample shipments beginning in October worldwide.

The two new FCRAM devices are designed for use in next-generation mobile phones that offer capabilities such as Internet access, music distribution, e-mail, video postcards, information and location-based services. The new ASMs satisfy the expanded memory requirements of advanced mobile network infrastructure and high data rates demanded by the latest mobile cellular technologies.

The new Mobile FCRAMs adopt Page Mode operation, which dramatically improves performance when consecutive address access occurs within the same page. The devices also integrate additional new features suited to each target market.

The MB82DPS02183B, a 32Mbit Mobile FCRAM, operates from a 1.8V power supply. This is in line with today's GSM/GPRS mobile communications standards, where migration from a 3V to 1.8V power supply is ahead of other cellular phone standards.

The second device, the MB82DP02322A, is a 64Mbit Mobile FCRAM that integrates a x32-bit I/O to provide the enhanced performance required for the multimedia processing facilities of feature-rich cellular phone standards like W-CDMA and UMTS.

Both of these products are offered as compact Multi-Chip Packages (MCPs) combined with the Fujitsu's Flash memory or in chip or wafer form.
