Crocus Technology announced two new patent grants by the US Patent and
Trademark Office and the French Institut National de la Propriete
Industrielle (INPI).
The new patents cover
use in specialized memory chips known as Content Addressable Memories (CAM),
opening the way to denser, faster and less power-hungry CAM, as well as
innovative developments in the physics, materials, and manufacturing of MRAM
chips with high data stability. Commercialization of these technologies holds
the promise of low cost, advanced technology MRAM to be used in applications
ranging from mobile phones and disk drives to personal computers and network
routers.
