Ian Williams, a VP of AMD's Memory Group has described the product as a 'fortress on a circuit board' to protect the integrity of wireless communications. 'Customers,' said Williams 'can count on multiple layers of protection designed to prevent would-be signal thieves from fraudulently billing calls to other users' accounts or pirating television programming.'

The Am29PDL640G is a 3.0 volt page-mode Flash memory device, with 1.8 V and 3.0 V input and output voltage options and a low power standby feature. With 65 nanosecond initial access times and 25 nanosecond page access times, AMD claims it provides up to 80 Mb/sec intra-page read throughput and 66 Mb/sec sequential read throughput.
