One of the problems with being engaged in our hobby or profession is that people assume if you can build a computer out of chips, you must know all the details of their latest laptop computer. Most of ...

To the best of my knowledge, my Compaq Armada takes a 144pin SODIMM stick of EDO RAM. the upgrade to its maximum of 80megs (by buying a 64meg stick) would cost me at least $56 for the EDO. However, ...

Now gaining popularity in desktop and portable computers is a new type of memory: Double Data Rate (DDR) memory that meets JEDEC Standard JESD79 and JESD8-9 [1]. The DDR-SDRAM is simple, clocked at ...

I've posted around this sort of thing before, but haven't really been able to get a decent response, so I'm trying again. Can someone explain to me the following: 1) How are the designations for DDR ...

The number of systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) that require an interface to off-chip memory is increasing. As a result, more and more designers are turning to double-data-rate (DDR) SDRAM interfaces such as ...

Faster data processing requires faster memory. Double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory (DDR SDRAM) enables the world’s computers to work with the ...

Low-power DDR SDRAM has been one of the most widely used memories in the semiconductor market. This blog post talks about the evolutions of LPDDR DRAMs leading to the latest published standard of ...
