ATP Got License Agreement With Micron

ATP Electronics, Inc., memory module and NAND storage manufacturer, announced a license agreement with Micron Technology, Inc.  to support legacy DRAM modules (SDR/DDR) previously manufactured by Micron.

Micron published EOL notices for these SDR and DDR DRAM modules in January 2015 with a Last Time Buy (LTB) in July 2015 and a Last Time Ship (LTS) in January 2016.

ATP has instituted an agreement with Micron to continue to manufacture these DRAM modules specifically for the existing customer base that cannot migrate. ATP will continue to provide support on these parts and related product roadmaps for the long-term.

Each module will be manufactured to the equivalent specifications and test processes of the corresponding Micron part number.

“Micron is committed to supporting legacy application requirements. By partnering with ATP we’re able to provide stability for our customers who are unable to transition their existing platforms,” said Bruce Franklin, product marketing director, the embedded business unit, Micron.

“Embedded applications require a long life cycle, which is why AMD is pleased to collaborate with ATP and Micron to support the extended life of AMD’s Geode platform,” said Colin Cureton, product marketing manager, AMD embedded solution. “ATP’s legacy SDR/DDR SODIMM module solutions utilizing Micron memory are a critical component to industrial control and automation, industrial PCs, HMI panels, point of sales and communication applications.”

“The partnership between ATP and Micron brings supply stability and assurance for legacy SDR/DDR memory modules. Our cooperation is symbolic of ATP’s general strategy to work with Micron to address these specific markets with extended longevity and other niche service requirements,” said Jeff Hsieh, ATP head of global sales and marketing.

ATP will offer the SDR and DDR DRAM modules in selected SODIMM, UDIMM and RDIMM form factors and densities starting Q3 2015.
