RIMM
™
Module
64 MBytes (32M x 16/18) based on 8Mx16/18
Overview
The Direct Rambus™ RIMM™ module is a general purpose
high-performance memory subsystem suitable for use in a
broad range of applications including computer memory,
personal computers, workstations, and other applications
where high bandwidth and low latency are required.
The 64MB Direct Rambus RIMM module consists of four
128M Direct Rambus DRAM (Direct RDRAM™ ) devices.
These are extremely high-speed CMOS DRAMs organized
as 8M words by 16 or 18 bits. The use of Rambus Signaling
Level (RSL) technology permits 600MHz / 711MHz /
800MHz 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
(10ns per sixteen bytes).
The architecture of the Direct RDRAM 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.
Key Timing Parameters/Part Numbers
The following table lists the frequency and latency bins
available from RIMM modules. An optional -LP designator
is used to indicate low power modules.
