Almost everyone knows that the bulk of DRAMs produced end up in desktop and laptop computers just like the one used to write this article. In fact, approximately 90% of all DRAMs produced are used in ...

The recently introduced DDR3 SDRAM technology paves the way to higher data rates (from 800 Mbps to 1600 Mbps) and provides higher performance for many systems that depend on data, video, or packet ...

These design guidelines provide the best practices for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM custom memory interface implementation in Stratix III and Stratix IV FPGAs. Figure 1 shows the design flow that is required ...

We often see “logic analyzer” projects which are little more than microcontrollers reading data as fast as they can, sending it to a PC, and then plotting the results. Depending on how fast the ...

The Hybrid Memory Cube Consortium, which consists of such silicon luminaries as Micron, Samsung, and IBM (but not Intel), has finally finished hammering out the Hybrid Memory Cube 1.0 standard. The ...

Memory performance is a critical component for achieving the desired system performance in a wide range of applications from cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) to automotive and mobile.

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the global leader in standards development for the microelectronics industry, today announced publication of the JESD79-5A ...

Over the past 25 years we have seen the transition from sdram (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) to ddr (Double Data Rate) SDRAM, and then to DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4 on a cadence of five year cycles. Currently we ...

Double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR SDRAM) physical-layer testing is a crucial step in making sure devices comply with the JEDEC specification. The ultimate goal is to ...

There are many parameters, both electrical and physical, that contribute to the relative size of tDV and not all scale with operating speed. Factors such as signal noise, crosstalk, skew, jitter, and ...
