Fujitsu Unveils World's First Multi-Chip Package with Burst Mode Functionality
-Features 128Mb Flash Memory and 64Mb Mobile FCRAM-
Fujitsu Limited
Tokyo, June 02, 2003
Fujitsu Limited today announced the development of a new memory product for next-generation mobile phones and other high-performance mobile applications, the MB84SR6H5K5K1, a multi-chip package (MCP) combining Mobile Fast Cycle RAM (FCRAM)(1) and burst mode(2) flash memory. Fujitsu is shipping samples of the new chip package starting today.
The new multi-chip package includes one 128Mbit (Mb) NOR-type flash memory and two 64Mb Mobile FCRAM chips compliant with the Common Specification for Mobile RAM (COSMORAM)(3). Both memory units are capable of burst-mode operation at 66MHz, enabling high-speed data access. Moreover, the new MCP is a low-voltage device, requiring only 1.8V of power.
The product is designed especially for use in 3G mobile phones, where the burst mode operation will deliver the high-speed data transfer rates essential for sending and playback of streaming video and other multimedia functions.
Fujitsu plans to extend this line to suit diverse customer needs, adding a model with 64Mb flash memory and 32Mb Mobile FCRAM, and increasing burst frequencies to 80MHz and even 100MHz.
Features
1. Fast access times
- Adding burst-mode capabilities to both the flash memory and Mobile FCRAM allows for faster read operations.
- Burst-mode access times are 11ns for flash memory, 12ns for Mobile FCRAM (at 66MHz).
- Asynchronous read/write operations also supported.
2. Low power consumption
- Operating on 1.8V power, the flash memory requires a maximum of 10µA, the Mobile FCRAM a maximum of 120µA of standby current.
- The Mobile FCRAM also includes a power-down mode that dramatically reduces its power requirements (max 10µA).
3. Pin layout shared by all three COSMORAM-developing companies
- Support for the COSMORAM standard (including pin layouts) simplifies board and connector design for customers.
