Stacked memory options

The STn8815S12 and STn8815S22 build on the STn8815 by stacking their respective

amounts of both SDRAM and Flash memories in pin-compatible packages, a technology

that STMicroelectronics has mastered for commercial use. In addition to saving space, the

footprint of the stacked chips is the same as that for the STn8815, a critical factor for today’s

compact clamshell designs. These stacked versions give manufacturers unprecedented

flexibility on the production line.

The stacked versions promise lower product costs, added system security, faster data

throughput, and future performance enhancements.
