Memory Technology & AI Integration Platform
Automotive & High-Performance Markets
In response to the growth of the automotive market, Etron leverages innovative circuit design to break through the physical limitations of traditional DRAM, pioneering Long Retention Time DRAM (LRTDRAM™) technology that complies with JEDEC standards. This significantly enhances performance in high-temperature, high-capacity applications such as automotive, heterogeneous integration, and KGD (Known Good Die).
Miniature Edge AI Applications
Etron was the first in the world to introduce RPC DRAM®, packaged in Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP) with only half the pin count of standard packages. It is currently the smallest DRAM available offering x16 DDR3 SDRAM high bandwidth. With advantages in both cost and power consumption, it is well suited for industrial, robotics, AR/VR, edge AI, and wearable device applications.
One-Stop Platform
Etron has developed the “AI+DRAM Heterogeneous Integration Platform” to help minimize ASIC design, and launched the innovative one-stop AI memory platform “MemorAiLink” at the end of 2023, integrating memory, IP, and packaging technologies to help customers shorten time-to-market.
