ESI’s Standard ES29LV family is a cost-effective flash memory that addresses mainstream flash applications. These family members are offered in x8 or x16 organization, top and bottom boot block, and in density ranging from 4Mb to 32Mb at 3V single supply voltage with access time ranging from 70ns to 90ns.

All ES29LV Series products use the JEDEC-approved standard packages and /pinouts, either 48-pin TSOP and 48 FBGA package and command sets for ease of use.

ESI’s Standard ES29LV products are well suited for applications in consumer electronic devices like DVD player/recorder, STB, MP3, where higher performance rather than high densities are required.

Embedded flash memory IP is a flash memory array block used to store program codes as part of embedded electronic sub-block components such as DSP (digital signal processor), MCU (micro controller unit) and glue logic in the integration of a system-on-chip (SoC).

ESI has been selected by System IC Division of Hynix Semiconductor as one of its embedded flash IP providers in its 0.25 um technology. Along with Hynix, ESI has provided other customers with a 16Mbit flash IP for their PLD products.

ESI also is working with Dongbu Electronics as a strategic partner to develop its embedded flash IPs in various densities (1M and 2Mbit, for examples) on its 0.18 mm flash technology.

In order to better serve its customers with a wide range of SoC design applications, ESI is to expand its IP portfolios by fanning out its IP library to multiple foundries. ESI is now under negotiations with other wafer foundries.
