Elpida Memory's 256 Megabit x32 SDRAM Delivers Space-Saving, Low-Power Benefits to Digital Consumer Products

Monolithic SDRAM Devices Offer 50% Reduction in Board Space Over Multi-Chip Package Designs

EDL2532CA

TOKYO, June 16, 2003 - Elpida Memory, Inc (Elpida) today announced the availability of its 256 Megabit x32 Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) devices designed to offer space-saving, low-power benefits for mobile applications such as digital cameras and other battery-driven, handheld consumer products. These single-die devices offer a 50% reduction in board space and a 65% power savings over multi-chip package (MCP) designs that utilize two 128 Megabit x16 FBGA-packaged devices, thus reducing design and implementation costs.

"Elpida strives to provide its customers in the mobile applications space with single-chip solutions that save board space and minimize power consumption without sacrificing overall product performance," said Jun Kitano, director of Technical Marketing for Elpida Memory (USA). "A small, low-power component is essential for successful implementation in battery-controlled consumer products."

Elpida's 256 Megabit x32 monolithic SDRAM devices operate at up to 166 MHz to provide mobile applications with high-speed, high-density benefits needed to achieve maximum product performance. The devices (Part numbers: EDS2532AA, EDS2532CA, EDS2732AA, EDS2732CA) are organized as 2M words x 32 bits x 4 banks and are produced using Elpida's proven 0.11 micron process technology. The 256 Megabit devices are packaged in JEDEC-standard 90-ball FBGA packages and provide the low-power consumption (VDD 3.3 V/2.5 V) critical for battery-powered handheld products. In addition, the devices have a programmable burst length (BL) of 1, 2, 4, 8 and full page, and offer a CAS latency (CL) of 2, 3. Refresh functions occur at a rate of 4096 refresh cycles/64ms and have two variations-auto refresh and self-refresh.
