IDT Introduces Thermal Sensor for DDR3 Memory Modules to Expand Cloud Computing Portfolio

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 9, 2011– Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®; NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today introduced a new family of low-power, precision temperature sensors targeted at Double Data Rate 2 and 3 (DDR2 and DDR3) memory modules, Solid State Drives (SSD), and computing motherboards. These new devices complement IDT’s PCI Express®, signal integrity, flash memory controller, power management, and timing products to offer a rich set of application optimized enterprise computing solutions.

          The digital thermal sensors support both a 3.3V and lower-power 2.5V SM-Bus and I2C interface for improved system power efficiency and compatibility with both existing and emerging serial bus controllers. For further power savings, advanced on-die power management features minimize power consumption during critical modes, such as when mobile or fault-tolerant enterprise systems are operating on battery power. The new product family includes a stand-alone temperature sensor (TS3000GB2), as well as one with an integrated 256-byte EEPROM array (TSE2002GB2) on a single, monolithic die for non-volatile storage of user information, such as system configuration data for the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) feature of the memory module.

          The devices continue IDT’s tradition of industry-leading temperature accuracy by exceeding the requirements set forth by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) JC42.4 specification for Grade B temperature sensors, providing±1°C temperature sensing accuracy over the entire temperature range of -20°C to +125°C. In addition, an innovative high-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC) enables up to 12-bit (0.0625°C) programmable resolution with industry-leading conversion time, dramatically improving precision across the full temperature range.

         "Our customers are continually asking for increased system reliability and greater power efficiency, and IDT thermal sensors help us achieve these requirements,” said Arthur Sainio, Sr. Product Manager of SMART Modular Technologies.“We are pleased that IDT offers such a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance computing solutions to address the growing demand of the cloud computing market.”

         “As the next generation of computing equipment migrates to lower power and lower voltage architectures, IDT continues to lead those transitions with complete solutions for the memory module market,” saidMario Montana, vice president and general manager of the Enterprise Computing Division at IDT.“Our customers trust IDT to be a leader in performance, power and reliability, and our new family of thermal sensors reinforces that trust.”

          Both theTS3000GB2andTSE2002GB2support SM-Bus and I2C protocols and specifications, including timeout requirements critical for next generation systems, along with input glitch filtering and power-up voltage hysteresis to enhance fault tolerance in any customer system design.

Pricing and Availability
          The IDT temperature sensors are currently sampling to qualified customers. They are available in 8-pin DFN and TDFN packages that are RoHS compliant. The TSE2002GB2 and TS3000GB2 are priced at $0.85 and $0.75 each for volumes of 10,000 units, respectively. For additional information, visitwww.idt.com/go/TempSensor.

IDT Wins 2010 EDN Innovation Award for Highly Integrated PowerSmartâ„¢ Display Panel Controller

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 3, 2011– Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®; NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced that the IDTVDAP1000PowerSmart Display Panel Controller has won the prestigiousEDN Innovation Awardin the Application-Specific Standard Products (ASSP) category.  

         “We are honored to see our product win EDN Magazine’s Innovation Award. It is a clear demonstration of solid execution, commitment to innovation, and the success of our integration and power management strategy,” saidDr. Ted Tewksbury, president and chief executive officer at Integrated Device Technology.“TheVDAP1000is the first analog power management and LED backlighting chip to be fully integrated with a digital timing controller into a single device. IDT’s innovative power management capabilities coupled with a strong digital foundation put us in a unique position to solve complex system-level problems to benefit our customers.”

          IDT’s award-winning device, the VDAP1000, is the industry’s first monolithic mixed-signal total system solution for TFT LCD panels, such as those used in tablet PCs, notebooks, and netbooks. This innovative device from IDT integrates power management and a four-channel LED backlight driver with a full-function low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) timing controller.  Traditionally, these three functions were served by three different chips. The VDAP1000, however, integrates all three functions onto a single chip, saving precious board space, system power, and cost– enabling system architects to design the industry’s most compact and efficient portable devices. In addition, the IDT VDAP1000 features spread spectrum technology to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), improving signal integrity and system performance.

          The VDAP1000 EDN award complements the recent award from Electronic Engineering and Product World (EEPW) for IDT’s 90E2x family of wide-dynamic range power metering ICs. For more information on the VDAP1000, visit www.idt.com/go/PowerSmart.
