Infineon Technologies Introduces New Memory Products for Mobile Applications

The company has introduced new memory products for mobile and handheld devices, including notebooks, cellular phones, and PDAs. The Mobile RAM range offers low power consumption and space-saving features, with densities of 128MB and 256MB. A built-in temperature sensor by Infinion optimizes refresh rates without using CPU power. The Extra Compact Chip Scale package is ideal for space-constrained applications. Market research predicts a rise in notebook demand from 36.1 million units in 2003 to 52.2 million units in 2006, with a 13% annual growth rate.
