(
16Mx18)*4(8)pcs NexMod™ Module based on 288Mb E-die, 32s banks,16K/32ms Refresh, 2.5V
Overview
The NexMod™ module is a general purpose for high-
performance memory subsystem suitable for a broad range
of applications including networking, digital consumer,
mobile
"Thin
and light" PCs, and other applications systems
where high bandwidth and low latency are required.
The NexMod product family addresses the needs of
customers designing space-constrained systems. The Single-
Channel RDRAM
®
NexMod memory module is a cost
effective, small volumetric form factor solution that provides
virtually all the components needed for a complete Rambus
®
Channel. The NexMod module simplifies system layout and
speeds time-to-market by placing the end-of-channel termi-
nation, VRM(Voltage Regulator Module) and DRCG(Direct
Rambus™ Clock Generator) all on the module.
The NexMod module is consisted of 288Mb RDRAM
devices. These are extremely high speed CMOS DRAMs
organized as 16M words by 18 bits. The use of Rambus
Signaling Level(RSL) technology permits up to 1066MHz
transfer rates while using conventional system and board
design technologies. RDRAM devices are capable of
sustained data transfers up to at 0.94ns per two bytes (7.5ns
per 16 bytes)
The RDRAM Architecture enables the highest sustained
bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous, randomly addressed,
memory transactions. The seperate control and data buses
with independent row and column control yield high bus
efficiency. The RDRAM device’s thirty-two bank architec-
ture supports up to four simultaneous transactions per
device.
- Terminations/DRCG/VRM(generates Vterm) on module
- RDRAM VREF generated on module
♦
Stacked PCB design improves signal integrity and margin
- Shortened channel length by stacking PCB and placing
termination on module
- Optional BGA or PGA connectors to mainboard enable
mounting flexibility
- BGA interposers within module
