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.
