“Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ:CATS) has introduced its new RoHS-compliant serial EEPROM product portfolio with new I2C devices. As part of Catalyst Semiconductor’s memory product strategy, this new EEPROM family offers a more robust serial interface product line with all “Green & Gold” NiPdAu, RoHS-compliant packages. “Based on customer feedback and the requirement for RoHS-compliant products, we found strong market demand for serial EEPROMs with a broader range of operating voltage at the higher performance access speed of 400 KHz. In addition we added NiPdAu lead frames which meet all RoHS “lead-free” requirements. These new packages can also be used for older board designs not requiring 100% lead-free content so the new device family can replace multiple versions of the older I2C products to give our customers a more streamlined product offering which in the long run will help reduce cost,” said Gary Craig, Product Marketing Manager. “Products being introduced include 1kbit, 2kbit, 4kbit, 8kbit, 16kbit, 32kbit, 64kbit, 128kbit and 256kbit serial EEPROMs with all ‘Green & Gold’ packages,” he concluded.” Source: Catalyst via businesswire.com
