Agere Enables 2GB Storage in Portable Devices

Agere Systems is supplying its TrueStore read-channel storage integrated circuits (ICs) to Cornice for use in its 2.0-gigabyte Storage Element (SE). Packed into a low-cost, half-cubic-inch package, the SE requires only one-fourth of the components of miniaturized magnetic disk drives, and offers the durability and extended battery life typically enjoyed by solid-state storage media. The miniaturized storage could be used in a wide array of portable, consumer electronic deviceshttp://www.agere.com
