Atmel introduces high security smart card IC for low density banking and government applications
This 4K EEPROM HC05 microcontroller having 16K ROM and 1K RAM, is targeted at single application or multi-function applications requiring cost effective small memory but high security, such as banking and government applications. Examples include credit, debit, electronic purse and personal identification cards. Introduction coincides with the product being granted security certification to ISO-15408, more commonly known as Common Criteria, to EAL4 Augmented level in accordance with Protection Profile PP-9806.

STMicroelectronics introduces new fast and efficient serial EEPROM
The M95256 EEPROM is recognized as a reference standard in the industry and is used in a broad range of applications in telecom, computer and automotive. ST has enhanced the features of the M95256 in several areas to offer a high-efficiency product. Firstly, it has doubled the clock rate from 5MHz to 10MHz (for the 5V devices) and from 2MHz to 5MHz (for the 2.5V devices); secondly by programming in 5ms instead of 10ms; and thirdly by packaging it in a S08 Narrow (150mils body width), the smallest package proposed for this capacity.

Ramtron announces 1T/1C 256Kb serial FRAM data collection subsystem
The FM30C256, which uses Ramtron�s low-cost 1T/1C FRAM architecture, is a 256-kilobit, two-wire serial FRAM data collection subsystem that combines nonvolatile RAM with a real-time clock, a CPU supervisor, and system tamper detection functions. (ChipCenter: WebScan)
Fujitsu and Toshiba announce second-generation FCRAMTM with enhanced performance up to 200 megahertz
This new generation of FCRAMs offers significant performance enhancements over the previous generation, achieving fast performance up to 200 megahertz (MHz), a random cycle time of 25 nanoseconds (ns) and bandwidth of 400 megabits per second (Mbps). (ChipCenter: WebScan)
Ramtron introduces world�s first 1-transistor, 1-capacitor FRAM product
Ramtron International introduced the FM24C256-SE, the world�s first 1-transistor, 1-capacitor FRAM memory product. The FM24C256-SE is a 256-kilobit (Kb) two-wire, serial FRAM product that uses a newly developed one-transistor, one-capacitor (1T/1C) memory cell that significantly improves the cost-per-bit ratio of resulting FRAM memory products.
