Kilopass Announces XPM Is First CMOS Logic NVM Technology to Complete Qualification on 80nm and 90nm Process

SANTA CLARA, CA, Apr 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
Kilopass Technology, Inc., a leading provider of semiconductor non-volatile
memory (NVM)
intellectual property (IP), today announced that its extra-permanent
memory (XPM) technology is the first high density embedded NVM technology to
complete qualification for 80nm and 90nm process technologies with the
successful qualification of its XPM-80GC and XPM-90LP product families. Both XPM
product families passed all the certification criteria and are now available
for mass production.

XPM technology's scalability makes it possible for Kilopass to quickly
support
new process technologies for low power, high volume consumer products.

"Our ability to quickly port XPM memory technology to a new process
technology
with higher performance, larger storage capacities, and smaller footprints gives
us an edge in the competitive, consumer-oriented market and highlights the
high-density process scalability of our XPM technology," remarked Craig
Rawlings,
Director of Marketing, Kilopass Technology.

The 80GC process is an 80-nanometer "half-node" process. It sits between the
90-nm and the 65-nm. The XPM-80GC underlying CMOS process provides higher
performance for general purpose applications while the XPM-90LP underlying CMOS
process provides both low active and standby power for handheld and mobile
applications. Target applications for the 80nm and 90nm processes include
general purpose consumer as well and mobile and wireless applications.

By passing Kilopass' rigorous foundry partner certification criteria,
customers are
able to review credible evidence, validating that XPM is a proper fit for
high volume manufacturing applications and product applications requiring proven
reliability.
