GSI Technology, Inc., incorporated on October 14, 2000, is a provider of Very Fast static random access memory (SRAM) products and low latency dynamic random access memory (LLDRAM) products. The Company operates through the design, development and sale of integrated circuits segment. The Company's products are incorporated primarily in networking and telecommunications equipment, such as routers, switches, area network infrastructure equipment, wireless base stations and network access equipment. It offers products in various categories, including Synchronous SRAM Products, LLDRAM Products and Bandwidth Engine Products.
The Company offers over 30 families of SRAMs, approximately two families of LLDRAMs and a family of Bandwidth Engine products. These basic product configurations are the basis for over 15,000 individual products that incorporate a range of specifications and optional features. Its products can be found in a range of networking and telecommunications equipment, including core routers, multi-service access routers, universal gateways, enterprise edge routers, service provider edge routers, optical edge routers, fast Ethernet switches and wireless base stations. It also sells its products to Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) that manufacture products for military applications, such as radar and guidance systems; for audio applications, such as sound mixing systems; for test and measurement applications, such as testers; for automotive applications, such as smart cruise control and for medical applications, such as ultrasound and computed axial tomography (CAT) scan equipment.
Synchronous SRAM Products
The Company supplies synchronous SRAMs that can cycle at operating frequencies as high as 1,333 megahertz. It offers BurstRAMs and No Bus Turnaround (NBT) SRAMs that implement a single data rate bus protocol. BurstRAMs are developed for microprocessor cache applications and used synchronous SRAMs on the market. They are used in applications where data are read or written in single sessions or bursts. NBT SRAMs are a variation on the BurstRAM theme and are developed for moderate performance networking applications. NBT SRAMs feature a single data rate bus protocol designed to eliminate wasted data transfer time slots on the bus when BurstRAMs switch from read to write operations. Both families of products can perform burst data transfers or single cycle transfers at the discretion of the user.
The Company's BurstRAMs and NBT SRAMs are offered in both pipeline and flow-through modes. Flow-through SRAMs allow the shortest latency. Pipelined SRAMs break the access into discrete clock-controlled steps, allowing new access commands to be accepted while an access is already in progress. It offers BurstRAMs and NBT SRAMs with storage densities of over 140 megabits with clock frequency of approximately 330 megahertz and clock access times as fast as two nanoseconds that operate at 3.3, 2.5 or 1.8 volts.
The Company offers a line of quad data rate separate input/output (I/O) SRAMs, known as its SigmaQuad family, as well as a companion line of double data rate common I/O SRAMs, known as its SigmaDDR family. SigmaQuad SRAMs feature two uni-directional (one input and one output) double data rate data ports (two data ports times double data rate transfers equals quad data rate), controlled through a single address and control port. SigmaDDR SRAMs feature a single bi-directional double data rate data port. It offers its SigmaQuad and SigmaDDR devices in multiple bus protocol versions and data burst lengths, and with various power supply and interface voltages, all under the names SigmaQuad, SigmaQuad-II and SigmaQuad-IIIe, and its SigmaDDR equivalents. It offers SigmaQuad/SigmaDDR products in five storage densities, including approximately 18 megabits, 36 megabits, 72 megabits, 144 megabits and 288 megabits. These SRAMs are capable of speeds over 1,333 megahertz and operates on main power supply voltages that range from 2.5 volts to 1.2 volts and interface voltages that range from 1.8 volts to 1.2 volts.
LLDRAM Products
The Company's LLDRAMs offer one-third the latency of commodity DRAMs and approximately four times the density of Fast SRAMs, giving networking equipment designers a tool for solving data management problems. Its LLDRAM portfolio includes both 288 megabit and 576 megabit devices that are capable of speeds of approximately 533 megahertz and that operates on a 1.8 volt power supply and support both 1.8 volt and 1.5 volt interfaces. They are available in approximately five configurations, including common I/O and separate I/O types and data bus with different widths.
Bandwidth Engine Products
The Bandwidth Engine products are 576 megabit devices that support SerDes speeds of approximately 15 gigabyte per second per transceiver. They are capable of performing in excess of approximately four billion transactions per second and can achieve sustained data bandwidth of approximately 400 gigabyte per second (200 gigabyte per second input, 200 gigabyte per second output) and can support over four different SerDes lane configurations.
The Company competes with Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Integrated Silicon Solution, Micron and REC.
