Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe announced the development of a 256Mbit Consumer FCRAM for digital consumer electronics, the MB81EDS256545. The FCRAM is suited for system-in-package (SiP) designs, with samples available from today. Key features include a 64-bit I/O, a low power DDR SDRAM interface that enables data transfer capabilities equivalent to two DDR2 SDRAMs with 16-bit I/O while reducing power consumption by up to 1W (equivalent to approximately 70%). This contributes to power savings for digital consumer electronics and makes the device suited for consumer electronics products that require low power consumption, such as digital televisions and camcorders. Fujitsu anticipates that this memory can replace conventional RAMs for use in digital consumer electronics that require lower power consumption, such as digital televisions and camcorders.
