UniRAM Announced High-Density SRAM With Register-File Like Performance in 0.13um Process

Santa Clara, Calif. - June 6, 2002 - UniRAM Technology, Inc., today announced the availability of RegiRAM, an ultra high performance embedded memory based on UniRAM's patented Genuine Embedded Memory (GEM) architecture. RegiRAM delivers a three-fold improvement in speed, ten-fold improvement in power, and 30-60% smaller area compared to traditional 6T/8T single-port/dual-port SRAM. The company utilized UMC's 0.13um Silicon Shuttle program to silicon verify RegiRAM with good results.

SRAM has been the workhorse memory solution since the beginning of the semiconductor industry. However, as process technology advances, the performance disparity between logic and memory designs has become intolerable, especially in high performance applications such as microprocessors and network processors.

"RegiRAM bridges the performance gap between logic and memory designs," commented Dr. J.J. Shau, President and CTO of UniRAM. "RegiRAM is the first true Static RAM that performs as fast as a Register-File, even in tens of megabits (Mb) density range. It is an ultra-high density, ultra-low power Register-File with multiple-port capability."

"This is only the beginning of the benefits RegiRAM brings to the industry. With its ultra high performance and extreme ease of use, design complexity can be dramatically reduced as designers use high density RegiRAM as Register Files, thus eliminating cache hierarchy typically used to circumvent slow memory," Shau continued. "The net result is that companies can produce much simpler designs, a much faster product, and yet a product with much smaller die size."

RegiRAM Compilers for single-port and dual-port are available with densities ranging from Kilobits (Kb) to tens of Megabits (Mb). Customers can license either a compiler or specific macros, based on individual needs.
