EDI Introduces Next Generation Linear Flash Card; New Design Breaks Linear Flash 64MB Density Barrier
WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Electronic Designs, Inc. (EDI) (Nasdaq Small-Cap: EDIX), building on its established reputation as a supplier of high density and high performance memory solutions, today announced a new generation of Linear Flash PC (PCMCIA) Cards.
EDI's new product series combines the recently announced breakthrough multiple-bit-per-cell Flash memory technology, StrataFlash(TM), from Intel Corporation (Nasdaq:INTC), and a new addressing method developed by EDI. Until today, Linear Flash cards have been limited to 64 megabytes (MB) due to the number of addressing lines available in the PCMCIA interface. EDI's innovative method of expanding card capacities, through the use of a paging mechanism, allows densities beyond this 64MB barrier. EDI's new high density Linear Flash PC-Card product family is available in densities from 16MB to 80MB in PC-Card standard Type II packaging. EDI's 80MB product is the highest linear flash card available in the industry.
Wieslaw Brys, Manager of Card Products for Electronic Designs, Inc., stated, ``Our innovative design approach has enabled EDI to break the 64 megabyte barrier. In the near future, this new technique will allow us to offer Linear Flash cards in densities of 256MB and higher. These new cards address the increasing density requirements in the data recording markets such as Avionics Voice/Data Recorders, Digital Maps, Medical Instrumentation and GPS systems as well as providing a lower cost solution in the standard densities.''
EDI's Linear Flash cards are ideal for portable data collection systems, battery operated equipment, medical instrumentation, GPS systems, printers and Datacom/Telecom systems.
EDI designs, manufactures and markets semiconductor memory and flat panel display products for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the global commercial, industrial and military markets, particularly telecommunications, data communications and avionics.
