Elpida Memory Incorporated (Elpida), Japan's leading global supplier of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), has announced that Edison Semiconductor Private Limited (Edison), will serve as Elpida's newest design center located in Bangalore, India. Edison is being established as a new company in partnership with Singapore-based FTD Technology (FTD).
Edison is as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FTD. Elpida's increased focus on DRAM design and development during the past year has also led to the establishment of two additional design centers located in Osaka, Japan, and Santa Clara, California.
Elpida's original design and development center is located in Kanagawa, Japan, and continues to provide Elpida with innovative advancements in DRAM technology.
"Our decision to establish Edison in India leverages the available talent for circuit design, layout and evaluation experience in that region," said Yukio Sakamoto, president and CEO of Elpida Memory, Inc. "Each of our design centers enhances our global strengths and expands our product development capabilities."
Elpida continues to further increase its DRAM manufacturing capability and product development at Hiroshima Elpida Memory. Elpida also outsources design and manufacturing functions to certain companies that meet Elpida's own high standards for quality engineering and production.
