April 24, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) said it is now sampling a monolithic 2-gigabit low-power memory device designed to provide mobile products, such as smartphones and smartbooks, with improved battery life and speedier system performance.

The 2Gb LPDDR2 can be used as a stand-alone device or in combination with Micron's NAND for high-capacity multichip package or package-on-package solutions. By stacking four of these 2Gb LPDDR2 memory devices, Micron can achieve an ultra high-density, 8Gb-based solution. As smartphones and smartbooks become more feature rich and application intensive, more memory is required to keep the system operating at peak performance.

The power and performance benefits of LPDDR2 make it a popular mobile memory solution for ARM-based systems. ARM is a market leader in providing processor IP and other key building blocks that enable a spectrum of mobile devices to combine exceptional performance with long battery life. Micron works closely with the ARM community to design LPDDR2 memory solutions into their mobile offerings, providing a complete package to the handset vendors.

Micron's LPDDR2 family operates at 1.2 volts, delivers data transferring speeds up to 1066 Mb per second, supports advanced mechanisms for managing power usage, and maintains performance in extreme environments.

Micron Technology is a provider of advanced semiconductor solutions.
