Today, the amount of electronic information (both text and graphics) accessible on the desktop continues to increase and thus, so do the memory requirements of the systems that make this access possible. The move to digital services, access to the Internet and mobile digital communications has also increased the need for memory in these systems.

In the computing industry most systems use high-speed SRAMs in conjunction with slower DRAMs for maximum performance. Most designers of PCs use SRAMs to build "cache memory" between the DRAM and microprocessor. SRAM cache memory allows data to be delivered to the processor at full bus speed rather than waiting for DRAM main memory.

In the communications industry, many systems use high-speed SRAMs to buffer, manipulate and route data. IDTs SRAMs and modules enable fast communication within companies and over the Internet. System designers use SRAMs for buffers in hubs, and routers; for switching tables in telecom and ATM switches; and for manipulation and buffering in signal processing and modem applications.

IDT is a leading supplier of cache SRAM components and modules to both the communications market and personal computer manufacturers of high-performance Pentium, and PowerPC microprocessor-based systems.
