Inphi Corporation Strengthens Market Lead With Launch of Industry’s Fastest DDR2 Registered Buffers With Parity Checking

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, November 25, 2004 – Once again setting

the standard for delivering high performance precision timing
devices that meet or exceed JEDEC specification, Inphi®
Corporation today introduced the world’s
first Registered Buffer With Parity Checking operating at
400, 533 and 667 Mbps using 2nd generation Double Data Rate
(DDR2) technology. The registers are part of the Inphi
ExacTik® Family of industry-leading precision timing devices.

The Inphi products, SSTU32S869, SSTUA32S869, SSTU32S865, and
the SSTUA32S865, support all existing standards of DDR2-400
and DDR2-533 as well as future standards for server memory
operating at DDR2-667. Not only do these parts represent a
significant market lead for Inphi, but they enable customers
to immediately integrate the industry’s most advanced timing
devices into their high performance servers, high reliability
systems, and take advantage of higher data rate DDR2
technology.

“With these products, Inphi is the only logic vendor in the
world which delivers all five registers for DDR2 operating at
400, 533 and 667 Mbps using DDR2 technology. This clearly
demonstrates Inphi’s technology leadership, manufacturing
expertise and ability to nimbly integrate new technology, and
deliver cutting-edge solutions to our customers,” said Desi
Rhoden, chairman of the JEDEC Memory Committee and executive
vice president of Inphi Corporation. “Our commitment to
continue working closely with JEDEC and our customers
continues to deliver new standards to the industry in terms
of precision performance.”

The Inphi SSTU32S869 and SSTUA32S869 14-bit register exceed
all JEDEC performance specifications for DDR2-400, 533 and
667 rates and support DDR2 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) module L
and similarly configured modules. The parts are available in
150-ball TFBGA leaded, lead-free, and “green” packages.

The Inphi SSTU32S865, and the SSTUA32S865 28-bit registered
buffers with parity are designed for 1.7V to 1.9V operation.
The parts exceed all JEDEC performance specifications for
DDR2-400, 533 and 667 rates and support DDR2 Registered DIMM
(RDIMM) module D and similarly configured modules. The parts
are available in 160-ball TFBGA leaded, lead-free,
and “green” packages.

All four components exhibit the lowest propagation delay in
the industry which give module manufacturers the most margin
in production. This enables memory modules delivered with
Inphi logic to have the highest yields and lowest field
failure rates.

Availability
The Inphi SSTU32S869, SSTUA32S869, SSTU32S865, and the
SSTUA32S865 are all currently shipping in production
quantities.

The ExacTik Family
Inphi’s ExacTik family of CMOS timing devices for computing
applications is the most comprehensive and highest performing
in the industry. Every part meets or exceeds JEDEC
specifications and delivers accuracy required at low-cost for
next generation DDR2 applications. The ExacTik family
includes timing devices for memory clocking, and other
server, workstation and notebook applications and is
characterized by the highest performance in terms of jitter,
slew rates, lock times and skew.
