Spansion will collaborate with DRAM supplier Elpida to create a complete memory subsystem for the wireless market.

The subsystem will incorporate MirrorBit NOR and ORNAND memory from the AMD/Fujitsu spin-off together with Elpida’s Mobile RAM, the companies said in a statement issued Thursday.

By combining these types of memory into a single subsystem, the companies will enable handset makers to design smaller cell phones with richer multimedia features.

Terms of the agreement between the companies were not disclosed.

"Spansion shares a common goal to deliver high-performance memory solutions to address the growing demands for more multimedia functionality in handsets with Elpida," said Bertrand Cambou, president and CEO of Spansion, in a statement . "By partnering with Elpida, a leading supplier of DRAMs for mobile applications, Spansion can offer a complete memory solution to meet our customers' requirements to deliver more features in smaller form factors."
 
"As data-rich cellular phones become more mainstream, the demand for tailored solutions combining high-density DRAM and Flash memory is steadily increasing," said Yukio Sakamoto, president and CEO of Elpida, in a statement. "With Spansion's leading MirrorBit technology and our leading-edge Mobile RAM, which are compatible with multiple technologies, we will increase our opportunities to offer innovative solutions."

Separately yesterday Spansion announced the release of its MirrorBit NOR and NAND technology.
