Dolphin Integration introduces a new generation of SpRAM at 55 nm

Grenoble, France – November 26, 2012 -- Dolphin Integration is releasing RHEA, the latest memory architecture of its SpRAM family, for power and cost sensitive SoCs at 55 nm TSMC technological processes.

The SpRAM RHEA generator leaves far behind any competing SpRAM

The SpRAM RHEA not only provides the best combination of density, speed and power consumption:

• Up to 30% denser than standard High-Speed memory generator while maintaining an equivalent speed range
• 10% less consuming and 9% denser compared with traditional Low-Power and High-Density memories, but RHEA also includes a crucial functionality:
• Data retention mode both at 1.2 V and 0.77 V for ultimate leakage savings

The SpRAM generator RHEA is specially suited for consumer multimedia applications such as MP3 player, E-reader, or game console.
