Dolphin Integration announces the availability of the new generation of Foundry Sponsored SpRAM generator at 55 nm

Grenoble, France – March 04, 2013. Dolphin Integration invites users of the TSMC 55  LP process to try out the latest Foundry Sponsored SpRAM released, known as SpRAM RHEA generator. This SpRAM is designed to reach the highest density and gains from 7% to 20% versus alternative solutions, depending on the memory configuration required.

The SpRAM RHEA has now passed the pre-silicon assessment criteria (Level 1) of TSMC’s stringent IP9000 qualification program.

Dolphin Integration's SpRAM RHEA not only provides the best density but also includes a data retention mode. To achieve the lowest leakage, the data retention mode supports a voltage as low as 0.77 V. This minimum voltage retention feature enables to divide leakage by 4 compared to alternative memory generators in stand-by mode.

The SpRAM RHEA operates as fast as 350 MHz in worst-case conditions in the LP process to satisfy at once the need for increased computing power without sacrificing power consumption and density.
