Memphis Electronic: Spansion's Bankruptcy No Reason for Drastic Redesign
BAD HOMBURG, Mar. 31 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
The bankruptcy of Flash Memory manufacturer Spansion is leaving OEMs
wondering how they can continue production of designs which rely on Spansion
components. The specialized Memory Distributor, Memphis Electronic is ready
to recommend drop in replacements to facilitate seamless continuation of
production.
"In most cases we can offer drop in solutions from Amic, EON and other
manufacturers already on our linecard. We are also urging these Flash
Manufacturers to bring more Spansion alternatives to the market.
Additionally, we are helping our customers with the procurement of remaining
stock, by offering advice on design changes which will require the least
effort," said Thorsten Wronksi, President, Memphis Electronic AG.
Currently, some manufacturers are issuing production guarantees to
assuage customer concerns. "For example, Amic guarantees the production of 5V
Flashes for the next five years, and is entertaining the idea of developing
new 16Mbit and 32Mbit 5V Flashes - assuming enough of our customers express
interest," added Wronski. "Shortly we will be able to offer the first samples
from EON of their Spansion S29GL compatible Uniform-Sector Flashes."
