Hyperstone introduced its F4 family of Flash Memory Controllers. Targeting applications such as CompactFlashTM Cards (CFC), Solid State Disks (SSD), IDE Disk-on-Modules (DoM), Multi-Chip-Package (MCP), and embedded Flash or Disk-on-Board, the F4 together with firmware provides highest reliability, endurance, and rigorous fail-safe features for all Single Level Cell (SLC) and many Multi Level Cell (MLC) based Flash Memory solutions.

Hyperstone introduced its high-performance E2 - 32-Bit RISC/DSP Microcontroller with additional on-chip highlights such as a programmable serial communication engine, an analog to digital converter (ADC), and 32kBytes on chip (I-RAM) complemented by a flexible external memory and peripheral interface controller.

The use of memory devices other than disks and tapes as storage devices can be traced back 40 years ago. For example, RAM and ROM were used to store data and program codes in the 1960s. By the 1990s, flash memory surged in popularity, appearing in USB drives and memory cards of various portable gadgets.

Hyperstone introduced its S6 MultiMediaCard^TM (MMC) and SecureDigital^TM - SD Card controller compliant to MMC4.2 and SD 2.0. Together with Hyperstone's patented wear leveling and most robust firmware, S6 offers highest reliability, endurance, and superior performance for flash solutions based on all Single Level Cell (SLC) and Multi Level Cell (MLC) Flash Memories.
