Semiconductor startup Tachyum has become members of two JEDEC committees developing standards for solid state memories and DRAM modules that will shape the semiconductor industry’s position in the rapidly evolving global marketplace.
Tachyum is one of nearly 300 member companies of the JEDEC, the global leader in developing open standards for the microelectronics industry. The company has joined committees JC-42 Solid State Memories, which include all memory-integrated circuits and programmable logic devices, and JC-45 DRAM Modules, addressing architectural, electrical, test and SPD issues related to memory design and manufacturing for commercial applications.
JEDEC committees develop open standards that enable innovation by helping commoditize components, which lowers prices yet retains quality and reliability, helping to build a foundation for a successful marketplace. The standards-based approach results in larger opportunities overall than deploying proprietary products and allows companies to focus on innovation. Tachyum’s contributions as a member of JEDEC help shape the standards for memory modules that the company incorporates into its Prodigy Universal Processor based systems.
“While there can be many ways to approach and solve any particular problem, it is often much more beneficial to both the problem-solvers and those who benefit from the solution if the conclusion can be reached in consensus,” said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, Tachyum founder and CEO. “Working in a committee with other JEDEC members to set standards for solid state memory allows us individually to focus on the benefits we can provide to customers in terms of cost and ease of operation than in overcoming the same sets of problems again and again. We look forward to our participation as part of the JC-42 and JC-45 committees and applying the work that we jointly agree upon into the development of Prodigy.”
