MoSys and BiTMICRO Networks Sign Agreement for High-Performance 1T-SRAM® Memory Macro Geared for Family of Portable E-Disk Storage Solutions

April 21, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Fremont, Calif. - April 2007 - MoSys, Inc., the leading provider of high-density system-on-chip (SoC) embedded memory intellectual property (IP) solutions, and BiTMICRO Networks, the leading provider of high-performance non-volatile solid-state disk and semiconductor storage solutions, announced that BiTMICRO has become the latest licensee of MoSys' 1T-SRAM® embedded memory macro technology. BiTMICRO will leverage MoSys' technology to add new performance, latency and area advantages to its Translation and Linking of I/O Nodes (TALINO™) SoC, a high-speed disk controller featuring integrated common industry standard interface cores. The cutting-edge TALINO™ ASIC will be deployed in E-Disk® maxIO™ SSDs, the next generation of solid state storage solutions that define BiTMICRO's vision for the much awaited proliferation of flash-memory based storage in the enterprise. E-Disk® maxIO™ storage devices are very high performance SSDs that come in industry standard and small storage form factors supporting the latest high speed storage interfaces.

At a speed of 350 MHz in a standard 90-nm CMOS logic process, the MoSys-enabled BiTMICRO memory macro reaches a performance level that is unmatched by other embedded memory technologies.

"BiTMICRO's solid state disk drive and flash disk drive solutions are ideal for harsh, demanding, and mission-critical applications in the industrial, embedded, computer, communication, medical, military, and aerospace industries," said Rey Bruce, Chairman and CEO of BiTMICRO Networks. "MoSys' 1T-SRAM technology was the only available solution that could meet the high performance, low latency and demanding reliability requirements of our system design."

"MoSys and BiTMICRO are collaborating closely to provide this performance-optimized design on a standard 90-nm CMOS process," said Chet Silvestri, President and CEO of MoSys. "The broad range of applications for the E-Disk® solution further extends the reach of MoSys' 1T-SRAM technology into areas with demanding portability, durability, and speed requirements."

Visit BiTMICRO Networks at Booth 104 of CA World 2007, which takes place from April 22 to 26 at the Venetian Las Vegas and Sands Expo & Convention Center Las Vegas. As the world's largest annual gathering of CA customers, partners, executives and IT leaders, CA WORLD has evolved into one of the most valuable community-based technology events in the industry.
