TOKYO, May 12, 2003 - Elpida Memory, Inc (Elpida) today announced that it is the first DRAM supplier to receive Intel's DDR2 component validation for its 512 Megabit DDR2 SDRAM devices. The devices have a data transfer rate of up to 533 Megabits per second (Mbps). They are designed to meet the critical demands of next-generation PCs, workstations and servers for high-speed and low power consumption by utilizing 1.8 V operation, thus offering 30% lower power than DDR1-based devices.
"Intel is a primary PC platform developer, and Elpida is proud to support Intel's first DDR2-based systems," said Hidemori Inukai, Chief Strategy Officer for Elpida Memory, Inc. "Together, we will deliver unmatched data transfer rates and low power consumption to PCs, workstations and servers, thus giving our customers the high-performance benefits they demand."
"Elpida's DDR2 memory has demonstrated component level validation and this is a big step in establishing DDR2 technology," said Pete MacWilliams, Senior Fellow Intel Corp. "Elpida's early support of our product roadmap will help us deliver the industry's first DDR2-based high-performance PC, workstation and server platforms in 2004."
Elpida's high-density, high-bandwidth 512 Megabit DDR2 SDRAM devices (part numbers: EDE51xxABSE) are designed using 0.11 micron process technology. They are organized as 128M words x 4 bits; 64M words x 8 bits; and 32M words x 16 bits respectively, and they are available in FBGA packages. The DDR2-based devices have a CAS latency (CL) of 3, 4, 5 with a burst length of 4, 8. The devices' advanced DDR2 architecture features include Off-chip Driver Impedance Adjustment and On Die Termination (ODT) to provide better system timing and increased signal quality.
Elpida's JEDEC-compliant 512 Megabit DDR2 SDRAM devices will serve as the basis for its DDR2 DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules). The modules will help system developers deliver the industry's first DDR2-based, high-performance PC, workstation and server platforms.
