Elpida Memory Inc. has announced the successful development of 512-megabit DDR2 Mobile RAM operating at an ultra-low voltage of 1.2V. The new product achieves 533Mbps high-speed with the same power consumption of DDR Mobile RAM.
DDR2 Mobile RAM from Elpida Features:
DRAM core operates at 1.2V versus 1.8V for DDR Mobile RAM
1.2V high-speed operation achieved using 70nm process technology (now in use in mass production) and new peripheral circuit technology.
Ultra-low voltage alley block and ECC circuits that use global top-level technology enabled dependable functionality with 1.2V I/O and low self-refresh current.
533Mbps high-speed functions based on the DDR2 interface
Partial alley self refresh (PASR), automatic temperature compensation self refresh (ATCSR), deep power down (DPD) and other standardized Mobile RAM special low-power functions enable a longer battery operating time.
Elpida will begin sampling its newly developed DDR2 Mobile RAM from next month. These modules are primarily for cellphones and other mobile devices.
