ISSI Announces a Complete Line of Serial EEPROMs for the Automotive Market

                           RoHS Compliant versions

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Integrated Silicon
Solution, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISSI), a leader in advanced memory solutions, today
announced a complete line of serial EEPROM devices for the automotive market.
This new product offering covers densities from 1K to 64K and is offered in
all three popular interface protocols: I2C, Microwire and SPI. These newly
designed devices are fabricated on 0.35 micron process technology at SMIC. In
addition to the automotive temperature range of -40 to +125 C, this new
technology reduces standby power by 25% and increases the maximum speed for
the SPI devices to 10Mhz.
    These devices are widely used in a broad range of automotive applications
where unique or user defined codes need to be stored. Applications include
remote control door locks, power seats and mirrors with memory, radios,
odometers, and alarm systems.
    "These new designs, using advanced EEPROM process technology, allow for
long term support for these EEPROM devices and demonstrate ISSI's commitment
to the automotive market," said Sanjiv Asthana, vice president of sales and
marketing for ISSI.
    Operating from 2.5V to 5.5V, ISSI's new EEPROMs are available in 1K, 2K,
4K, 8K and 16K densities. The I2C and SPI devices are also offered in 32K and
64K densities.

    Packaging and Availability
    These automotive grade EEPROMs are available in 150 mil JEDEC 8-pin SOIC,
8-pin TSSOP, and 8-pin DIP packages. RoHS compliant versions are available.
Samples of the 2K, 4K, 8K, and 16K can be requested now. Samples of the 1K,
32K and 64K devices will be available in Q2 of 2005.
