Numonyx reaches the industry forefront of new technology developments.
Numonyx™ Velocity LP™ NV-RAM is the world's first non-volatile memory (NVM) product to enter the market with a low power double-data-rate (LPDDR) standardized interface. In addition to all the advantages of the latest NOR flash technology developments, Numonyx is now providing its customers with even greater system improvements and opportunities.
Velocity LP NV-RAM combines the attributes of the execution memories in the system onto one, widely accepted LPDDR interface – helping to simplify system architecture, increase speeds and reduce costs. Because this non-volatile memory is also executable, designers can enable digital content to be read at RAM speeds and lower the memory system cost by reducing the requirements for LP RAM in the system.
Support for the new interface also helps system architects scale their memory systems to support more phones, from low-end to high-end, with the same architecture. Chipsets which are supported by LPDDR (both RAM and NVM) devices are more scalable, with some architectures enabling support for high-end (333 DDR, 1 Gb NVM) as well as low-end platform requirements (200 DDR, <1 Gb NVM).
The Velocity LP NV-RAM family is compliant with the JEDEC Low Power Double Date Rate (LPDDR) NVM Standard announced in November 2007. Upon ratification, Numonyx will continue to work with the industry to support future generations of interface standards with their products. This is the first step in helping to deliver faster non-volatile memory, reducing the need for added RAM for mobile platforms.
