Silicon Storage Technology expands licensing agreement with Toshiba

July 26, 2004 – SST (Silicon Storage Technology) has expanded its existing technology licensing agreement with Toshiba Corp. to include finer process geometries of SST’s SuperFlash technology.

Under terms of the agreement, Toshiba will license and embed SST’s 0.35-micron SuperFlash technology into its 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers for use in such high-volume applications as portable digital audio devices, televisions, and PDAs. In return, SST will receive licensing fees and royalties from Toshiba on sales of microcontrollers that integrate SuperFlash technology.

The previous technology licensing agreement between SST and Toshiba was signed in September 2003 and covered SST’s 0.5-micron SuperFlash technology. By FY05, Toshiba plans to extend the use of the 0.5-micron SuperFlash technology to more than 20 of its microcontrollers for such applications as audio and automotive equipment, and home appliances.
