Overview
The RDRAM
device is a general purpose high-perfor-
mance 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 256/288-Mbit RDRAM devices are extremely high-
speed CMOS DRAMs organized as 16M words by 16 or 18
bits. The use of Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology
permits up to 1066 MHz transfer rates while using conven-
tional system and board design technologies. RDRAM
devices are capable of sustained data transfers up to 0.938ns
per two bytes (7.5ns per sixteen bytes).
The architecture of RDRAM devices 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 RDRAM device's 32 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 organiza-
tion are general and can be used for additional storage and
bandwidth or for error correction.

Advanced power management:
- Multiple low power states allows flexibility in power
consumption versus time to transition to active state
- Power-down self-refresh
