Devices Automate Design Of Flash Memory, Single-Chip Sub-Systems

An effortless, automated design flow for the addition of in-system and in-application programmable flash memory, SRAM, and programmable logic to 8-bit CISC microcontroller-based systems is provided with a new family of EasyFlash PSDs. The chips provide a complete single-chip memory sub-system, including the programmable logic for the MCU interface, address decoding, chip selects and other logic functions. The design flow is completely automated, using point-and-click menus in the firm's Windows-based PSDsoft Express EDA tool.
Three devices have been introduced: the PSD913F1, the PSD913F2 and the PSD934F2. In 52- or 64-pin PLCC and PQFP packages in lots of 10,000, the devices are priced from $6.40 each for the PSD913F2.
