Direct RDRAM
288-Mbit (512kx18x32s)
Overview
The INFINEON 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 288-Mbit Direct Rambus DRAMs (RDRAM
) are extremely high-speed CMOS DRAMs
organized as 16M words by 18 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, and x18 organization. The two data bits in the x18 organization are
general and can be used for additional storage and bandwidth or for error correction.
Features
• Highest sustained bandwidth per DRAM device
– 1.6 GB/s sustained data transfer rate
– Separate control and data buses for maximized efficiency
– Separate row and column control buses for easy scheduling and highest performance
– 32 banks: four transactions can take place simultaneously at full bandwidth data rates
• Low latency features
– Write buffer to reduce read latency
– 3 precharge mechanisms for controller flexibility
– Interleaved transactions
• Advanced power management:
– Multiple low power states allows flexibility in power consumption versus time to transition to
active state
– Power-down self-refresh
• Organization: 2 Kbyte pages and 32 banks, x18
– x18 organization allows ECC configurations or increased storage/bandwidth
• Uses Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) for up to 800 MHz operation
• The ODF function is allready implemented in this device and will be described in a later version
of this document.
