OTTAWA--(Marketwire - February 25, 2009) - Sidense, a leading developer of Logic Non-Volatile
Memory (LNVM) IP cores, has announced that Sidense's one-time programmable
(OTP) memory was selected by Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited for use in
ICs fabricated in its low-power 90nm (CS100A-LL) silicon process. These
chips using Sidense's SiPROM memory macros are targeted for use in a
variety of consumer, industrial and automotive electronics products.
"Use of our memory cores by Fujitsu Microelectronics demonstrates the
confidence they have in the security and reliability of Sidense OTP,
amongst several other important factors," said Xerxes Wania, President and
CEO of Sidense. "We are honored to work with a distinguished integrated
device manufacturer such as Fujitsu Microelectronics, whose products are
recognized and used worldwide."
Fujitsu Microelectronics and their foundry customers now have the option to
use high-density Sidense SiPROM OTP products that are available for
licensing immediately. SiPROM OTP products are available in macro
configurations from 8 Kbits to 512 Kbits. Please contact Sidense or Fujitsu
