Ramtron International Corporation, a fabless semiconductor company, designs, develops, and markets specialized semiconductor memory, microcontroller, and integrated semiconductor solutions. It integrates ferroelectric materials into semiconductor products, which enable the development of ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) products that merge the multiple memory technologies into a single device. The companys F-RAM product line includes various interfaces and densities, such as industry-standard serial and parallel interfaces; industry standard package types; and 4-kilobit, 16-kilobit, 64-kilobit, 256-kilobit, 1-megabit, 2-megabit, and 4-megabit densities. Its serial F-RAM devices allow more frequent data transfers over the serial bus to the processor; parallel F-RAM products are drop-in replacements for battery-backed SRAM products; and integrated F-RAM products, also known as processor companions, are single-chip solutions that replace a number of individual system components to reduce cost and board space. The company serves various customers for a range of applications in the metering, computing and information systems, automotive, communications, consumer and industrial, scientific, and medical markets. Ramtron International sells its products through direct sales force, manufacturers representatives, and distributors in the Americas, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and Japan. The company was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
