Ill be watching this one closely monday as well!! Might buy in if it retraces...would love to see a break above 2.00!

Great looking LT falling wedge!!!  APPLAUD 

[calven]

RMTR charts....

[calven]

Hoping to get some RMTR tomorrow in the low 2's... I see a big move possible given the recent unexplained volume.

[calven]

RMTR HODING at 2.20 now - I think this could make a big move soon - Earnings annonced on the 27th... 

I wouldnt hold through earnings but I would play the run before the announcement.

[calven]

Another MASSIVE volume spike!

[kslifka]

Oh sweetness

[kslifka]

RMTR has a great 2 month chart.  It may be due for a pullback...a catch at the steep ascending trendline would be nice.

Ramtron's 16Kb 3V Serial FRAM Achieves AEC-Q100 Standards, Broadening Company's Line of Qualified Automotive Products
Monday October 16, 6:30 am ET

Unparalleled Nonvolatile Memory for Data Collection in Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control Systems

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 16, 2006 -- Ramtron International Corporation (NASDAQ:RMTR - News), a leading developer and supplier of nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) and integrated semiconductor products, today announced that its FM24CL16 -- a 16Kb, 3V serial FRAM memory device -- has been qualified to AEC-Q100 (Automotive Electronic Council's Stress Test Qualification for Integrated Circuits) standards. Ramtron is aggressively pursuing plans to grow a broad line of AEC-Q100-qualified FRAM products to meet the design and sourcing challenges of the automotive market. This qualification program has been developed to support a number of customer design-ins from in-cab applications to the vehicle's most stringent environments.

"FRAM's NoDelay(TM) writes sets it apart as the only nonvolatile memory technology suitable for advanced automotive electronic systems such as adaptive cruise control," says Ramtron vice president Mike Alwais. "The FM24CL16 has been designed into such systems and is now qualified for automotive applications as a reliable, high-quality component."

The AEC-Q100-qualification program comes in tandem with the growing need for better nonvolatile data storage solutions in automotive sub-systems. Electronic content in vehicles is becoming 'smarter' with the use of microcontrollers and sensors; FRAM already plays an integral role in high-content applications such as intelligent airbags, occupant sensors, infotainment systems, anti-pinch/trap sunroofs, automatic transmission, adaptive cruise control, steer by wire, etc. because it offers what older memories like EEPROM and Flash cannot: fast writes, high endurance and low power consumption. Ramtron is also developing a number of FRAM configurations specified for the Grade 1 (-40 degrees to 125 degrees C) operating range.

FM24CL16 Features

The FM24CL16 is a 16-kilobit nonvolatile RAM with an industry standard 2-wire interface. Pin-compatible with comparable EEPROM devices, but far superior, the FM24CL16 reads and writes at bus speeds up to 1MHz with virtually unlimited endurance, 45 years of data retention and low power. It operates at 2.7 to 3.6 volts over the industrial temperature range (-40 to +85 degrees C), draws 75 microamps (uA) for reads and writes at 100 kHz.

This serial FRAM device provides unparalleled nonvolatile memory for data collection and storage in automotive electronics. Fast writes are beneficial when capturing data from sensors, especially in noisy automotive environments or when power may suddenly fail, such as smart airbags and crash recorders. High endurance enables designers to capture information as often as they wish without the risk of wearing out the memory. Low power is an added benefit in applications with ever-lower power budgets such as car entertainment systems.

Not much of a pullback I guess

Nice move today

[kslifka]

Wow... 4.80 as I type.  Target around 5.50??

[Terliso]

Nice pick.. applaud kslifka

RMTR & PMTR made a good run today
