SUNNYVALE, Calif. & SEATTLE, Nov 16, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

GSI Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIT) today announced that the 72Mbit SigmaQuad-II+(TM)/SigmaDDR-II+(TM) SRAM product line is ready for customer sampling.

The product line, identified as the GS8662 family, includes the Type II and Type II+ SigmaQuad(TM) interface at speeds of up to 550 MHz in a 165-bump, 13 x 15 mm BGA package. Both commercial and industrial temperature ranges are offered as standard products.

GSI further announced that it has partnered with Pico Computing in utilizing these devices in the development of Pico's latest-generation scalable FPGA computing platform, the M-503. "The support we received from GSI has been amazing," said Kelley Dobelstein, Sr. Hardware Engineer. "We were a little worried since Xilinx's Memory Interface Generator doesn't specifically cite GSI 72Mbit type II+ devices," added Jeremy Chritz, Sr. Firmware Engineer. "But with no changes to the firmware, the GS8662D20BGD worked the first time around."

The M-503 will be featured at Pico Computing's booth (#1514) during the International Conference for High Performance Computing 2010 (SC10, New Orleans, November 13-19).
