Memory

Overview .

Fujitsu’s Fast Cycle RAM (FCRAM™) is a revolutionary DRAM core architecture that creates memory products with SRAM-like performance with DRAM technology. FCRAM’s new core concept improves performance by using a proprietary pipeline operation and hidden pre-charge to reduce the random access cycle time to less than half of today’s fastest SDRAM, Rambus and DDR memory technologies. In addition, FCRAM’s highly segmented memory core uses less than half the power of SDRAM within the same effective bus bandwidth.

Improvements in the performance and functions of electronic devices that support our ubiquitous network society are advancing rapidly. The markets for high-performance mobile phones and digital consumer electronics keep stable growth, and steady growth of a market for work RAM to support them is also expected. To satisfy the needs of such RAM market, Fujitsu has developed FCRAM, a high-performance, low power consumption memory. FCRAM is a RAM core architecture and an acronym of Fast Cycle RAM. Fujitsu has developed FCRAM product families based on the FCRAM core architecture and offers Consumer FCRAM and Mobile FCRAM as ASMs (Application-Specific Memories). Consumer FCRAM is a memory adopting SDRAM interface for applications of digital consumer electronics and embedded devices. Mobile FCRAM is a pseudo SRAM for mobile handsets. Fujitsu offers these products in wafer, bare chip, or package forms and provides our customers with system memory solutions to meet their needs along with our SoC/SiP solution.
