Micron and ATP To Collaborate on DDR2 Continuity Program / Partnership Agreement Ensures Legacy DRAM Module Supply Stability

Taipei, Taiwan (ots) - Recognizing the importance of obsolescence
mitigation in embedded and industrial systems, two of the biggest
names in advanced storage, memory and semiconductor technologies have
teamed up to ensure the continuous supply of legacy DDR2 memory
modules in the market. ATP, a leading manufacturer of
high-performance industrial memory and storage solutions, will
collaborate with global semiconductor leader Micron Technology, Inc.
to continue manufacturing Micron DDR2 SO-DIMMs, UDIMMs and RDIMMs
after Micron announced end-of-life (EOL) notices for these modules.

According to the collaboration agreement, ATP will produce DDR2
DRAM modules for customers that cannot upgrade to newer-generation
platforms and still maintain the use of platforms supporting these
memory types. With DDR2 still widely deployed in the US, Japan and
Europe, ATP and Micron expect these markets to benefit significantly
from the consistent supply of DDR2 memory for industrial/embedded
systems installed in high-reliability and mission-critical
environments. All modules will be manufactured, tested and validated
by ATP, according to the equivalent specifications and
testing/validation processes of the respective Micron part number.

"Micron is dedicated to maximizing customers' infrastructure
investments by ensuring prolonged support for legacy systems and
applications. Our proven partnership with ATP gives our customers the
benefit of receiving similar Micron products and services to support
their current platforms while ATP ensures the stability of their
operations well into the future," said Kris Baxter, vice president,
Micron Technology, Inc.

"A long product cycle is vital to the sustainability of industrial
business operations," said Marco Mezger, vice president, ATP
Electronics, Inc. "The DDR2 Continuity Program demonstrates ATP's
enduring partnership with Micron as well as our shared commitment to
extend supply stability, not only of the latest-generation products,
but also of legacy memory modules to continue supporting the memory
requirements of customers that are not yet able to make the
transition. Through this collaboration, customers will be assured of
steady supply to support their operations."

The DDR2 Continuity Program will be implemented on a staggered
basis within three manufacturing phases. DDR2 DRAM modules from ATP
will be available in select form factors and densities starting Q4
2018. Please check with your ATP contact for specific module
