RE: CLARIFICATION OF MESSAGE NUMBER ADA-8295114, OF STATIC
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY SYSTEMS (SRAMS) (A-583-827)
1. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER
ON OCTOBER 01, 1997, THE PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTY INVESTIGATION OF SRAMS FROM TAIWAN. THIS IS A
CLARIFICATION OF MESSAGE NUMBER ADA-8295114.
2. MOTOROLA INC. HAS REQUESTED THAT THE DEPARTMENT CLARIFY WITH
CUSTOMS THAT A CERTAIN PRODUCT IMPORTED BY MOTOROLA DOES NOT FAL
WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ABOVE-REFERENCED INVESTIGATION. THE
PRODUCT IS THE IMIC DEVICE. THE IMIC DEVICE IS AN APPLICATION
SPECIFIC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT. IT IS AN INTEGRATION OF A MEMORY
DEVICE AND A LOGIC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT. THE IMIC HAS 86 PINS IN
TOTAL AND A SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THE IMIC'S PINS
ARE DEVOTED TO LOGIC RATHER THAN TO MEMORY FUNCTIONS. THE IMIC
HAS 31 LOGIC PINS, 16 DATA INPUT/OUTPUT PINS, 16 MEMORY PINS AND
23 POWER AND GROUND PINS. THE IMIC ALSO HAS 13 MEMORY-MAPPED
REGISTERS AND 8 GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT REGISTERS, WHILE
SRAM MEMORY DEVICES DO NOT HAVE SUCH REGISTERS.
DUE TO THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE IMIC AND SRAM MEMORY DEVICES,
CUSTOMS SHOULD NOT SUSPEND LIQUIDATION AND COLLECT ANTIDUMPING
DUTY DEPOSITS ON IMPORTS OF THE IMIC. THIS PRODUCT WILL BE
PURCHASED BY MOTOROLA FROM UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION
AND WILL BE IMPORTED BY MOTOROLA FROM MOTOROLA MALAYSIA. THE
PART NUMBERS USED TO IDENTIFY THE IMPORTED IMIC DEVICES ARE
MCM62C416BZP25, MCM62C416BZP25R2, MCM62C416BZP30, AND
MCM62C416BZP30R2. THERE WILL BE, FROM TIME TO TIME, IMPORTATION
OF ENGINEERING PROTOTYPES, THE PART NUMBERS FOR WHICH WILL BEGIN
WITH "XCM" RATHER THAN "MCM".
