*** Toshiba introduces Industrial Temperature Network FCRAM Memory ICs
(February 27)

Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. announced the introduction
of the industrial temperature Network Fast Cycle Random Access Memory
(FCRAM) with operating case temperatures extending from -40 degrees
Celsius up to 100 degrees Celsius.

Toshiba's industrial temperature FCRAM2 memory ICs, designated
TC59LM818DMBI, support clock frequencies up to 267MHz (533Mbps) and
random cycle times down to 25ns. The 18-bit device is organized as 4M
words x 4 banks x 18 bits, and possesses an operating case temperature
range of -40 degrees C to 100 degrees C.

Toshiba's industrial temperature Network FCRAM1 memory ICs, designated
TC59LM814CFTI and TC59LM806CFTI, support clock frequencies up to 167MHz
(333Mbps) and random cycle times down to 30ns. The TC59LM814CFTI IC is
organized as 4M words x 4 banks x 16 bits, while the TC59LM806CFTI is
organized as 8M words x 4 banks x 8 bits. The new devices have an
operating ambient temperature range of 85 degrees C down to -40 degrees
C.

Toshiba's industrial temperature Network FCRAM2 (TC59LM818DMBI) chips
are available now, priced at $30.00 each in sample quantities. The
industrial temperature Network FCRAM1 (TC59LM814CFTI/TC59LM806CFTI)
devices will be available 2Q04, priced at $24.00 each in sample
quantities.
