Sanmina-SCI, Viking InterWorks(TM), and Shocking Technologies announced plans to manufacture Viking VLP (Very Low Profile) DDR2 memory
modules with Sanmina-SCI's patent pending eESD(TM) embedded electrostatic
discharge protection technology. Initial testing showed a marked improvement in ESD resistance of the sensitive memory devices mounted on the PCB. Multiple 6,000 volt discharges were directly injected into the modules without any damage or drop in performance.
"We believe this technology has the potential to be a cost-effective solution to ESD for most PCB-based products. The global protection it provides clearly increases reliability and could significantly lower total system cost," stated Lex Kosowsky, CEO of Shocking Technologies.
The new technology is expected to improve the reliability of electronics that have higher exposure to electrostatic discharge such as cell phones, PDS and Smart Memory cards. It would also free up chip space that is currently used for electrostatic discharge protection.
