Catalog electronics distributor Mouser Electronics Inc., Mansfield TX, and fabless semiconductor company Ramtron International Corp., Colorado Springs CO, have signed a global distribution agreement covering Ramtron memory, microcontroller, and integrated semiconductor products.
“We have partnered with Mouser because they specialize in delivering new, cutting-edge technologies to design and development engineers in the early stages of the design cycle,” Michael Hollabaugh, Ramtron VP of Sales and Marketing, says. “They excel at new product introductions and offer customer support to pair the right products with the right applications. Mouser will be an outstanding addition to our worldwide sales network as we continue to expand our FRAM and MCU product lines.”
Mouser will support Ramtron non-volatile FRAM memory and high-performance microcontroller products, including Processor Companion, Serial and Parallel FRAM memory devices, fast and flexible Versa 8051-based MCUs, and high-performance mixed-signal 8051s.
According to Mike Scott, Mouser VP of Active and Passive Products, the distribution agreement with Ramtron is in keeping with the distributor’s business model of continuing to offer the newest, most innovative products and the latest technologies to its customers.
Mouser says Ramtron recently broke new ground with the first FRAMenhanced MCU, the VRS51L3074, and the highest density FRAM memory to date, the 1-megabit FM20L08.
“Adding Ramtron to our broad repertoire of products is a great complement to our line card,” Scott says, “and further enhances the quality of innovative products we offer our customers.”
Focused on delivering the newest products and latest technologies, Mouser says it is the only catalog distributor to issue a new 1,700-plus- page print catalog every 90 days. The company’s website is also focused on daily updates, and the addition of new product information, with more than 480,000 downloadable data sheets, 335 supplier catalogs, and in excess of 1.5 million cross-referenced parts.
Its on-line catalog allows customers to easily browse and buy more than 680,000 products. Its streamlined pick-and-ship operation allows for same-day shipping on most orders received by 8pm CST, the firm says.
