Offering the Widest Variety of Leading Edge SRAMs for Networking and Communications Applications

Santa Clara , CA (March 6, 2007)—GSI Technology, a focused SRAM solution provider announced today the shipment of its 36Mbit SigmaQuad-II, SigmaCIO DDR-II, and SigmaSIO DDR-II SRAM devices. The new memory devices are fully compatible with QDR-II™ and DDR-II SRAM specifications delivering the best price/performance in today's demanding communications and networking application space.

Operating at speeds up to 333 MHz, making them the fastest available Type-II SRAMs in the industry, the 36Mbit family offers a full range of speed grades, bus widths from x8 to x36, and a choice of burst of two (B2) or burst of four (B4) data transfer protocols, all in the same standard 15 mm x 17 mm 165-ball FBGA (Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array) package. The 36Mbit family is manufactured using TSMC's 90 nm process technology, assuring high reliability and a steady source of supply. Built utilizing GSI's master die design technique and processed through our ExactPreference™ back-end, all versions are available with very short lead times.

"GSI Technology's memory product portfolio dwarfs the competition. We offer every version possible; 96 different variations of 36Mb products, not counting temperature range options that extend from commercial to military—more than 400% as many as the nearest competitor” said David Chapman, Vice President of Marketing & Applications Engineering. “No matter how specialized the application, we have exactly the right part for the job.”

Availability
GSI Technology's 36Mbit SigmaQuad-II products are sampling now, with production starting Q3 2007. Pricing for the GS8342D18AE in low volume quantities starts at $36. More information for the 36Mbit SRAM product family is available at www.gsitechnology.com/36Mbit.htm.
