128 M-bit Direct Rambus™ DRAM
MOS INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
Description
The Direct Rambus DRAM (Direct RDRAM
™
) is a general purpose high-performance memory device suitable for
use in a broad range of applications including computer memory, graphics, video, and any other application where
high bandwidth and low latency are required.
The
µ
PD488448 is 128M-bit Direct Rambus DRAM (RDRAM
®
), organized as 8M words by 16 bits.
The use of Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology permits 600 MHz to 800 MHz transfer rates while using
conventional system and board design technologies. Direct RDRAM devices are capable of sustained data transfers
at 1.25 ns per two bytes (10 ns per sixteen bytes).
The architecture of the Direct RDRAMs allows the highest sustained bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous randomly
addressed memory transactions. The separate control and data buses with independent row and column control
yield over 95% bus efficiency. The Direct RDRAM’s thirty-two banks support up to four simultaneous transactions.
System oriented features for mobile, graphics and large memory systems include power management, byte
masking.
The
µ
PD488448 is offered in a CSP horizontal package suitable for desktop as well as low-profile add-in card and
mobile applications. Direct RDRAMs operate from a 2.5 volt supply.
