Start with the news release Device programmer targets flash-memory market from BPM Microsystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "BPM Microsystems will showcase the 3000FS fine-pitch automated device programmer, designed for flash-memory programming, on Adaptsys' stand at the National Electronics Week show. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Ramtron launches F-RAM family from Ramtron International: "Ramtron has launched the first parallel device in a family of parallel and serial F-RAM products that offer high-speed read/write performance, lower-voltage operation and optional device features. ".
 
In October 2008, we covered the news from ON Semiconductor - take a look at ON Semiconductor offers surge protection devices which says: "ON Semiconductor has announced the release of a family of low-capacitance Thyristor Surge Protection Devices (TSPD) designed to protect the next generation of high-speed telecom equipment. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Ramtron International, Memory takes the gamble out of system design, as well as Miniature MOSFETs maintain lower on-resistance from Vishay Siliconix, and Low-power SRAMs expand to 64Mbit density from Renesas Technology Europe.
