March 1, 2012 -- eMemory Technology, Inc. is rolling out 1.2-V and 5-V OTP solutions. These two solutions use eMemory's uniquely developed design methodology, and are particularly suited to the consumer electronics and home appliances markets, which demand high reliability. In conjunction with previously introduced 3.3-V OTP solutions, diverse green process silicon IP product lines provide dramatically expanded product application scope and help drive down overall manufacturing costs.

eMemory's green process OTP technology is based on the 0.18-micron process platform. After screening component architecture, the process can be simplified, dramatically reducing the processing steps from the traditional 27 photomasks down to within 15 photomasks, which not only drops the manufacturing costs by 30%, but also helps customers conserve natural resources through process simplification. Green process OTP is currently in mass production in multiple wafer fabs throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

The green manufacturing platform 1.2-V and 5-V OTP solutions being rolled out by eMemory focus on low-power design and improved chip transient voltage tolerance, respectively. The 1.2-V solution is particularly suitable for small, handheld, low-power electronic devices that run on a single battery, such as ear thermometers, remote controllers, etc. The 5-V solution, due to its improved chip transient voltage tolerance, can aid users in extending product lifespan and increasing product use stability, allowing consumer electronics and home appliance manufacturers to provide solutions with even greater cost effectiveness.
