With a 4.8 to 6.4Gbit/s data rate, DDR5 provides twice the performance of DDR4, as well as improved power efficiency through an on-DIMM 12V voltage regulator and 1.1V I/O.
With a dual-channel DIMM topology for higher channel efficiency, according to Smart, it is suited to cloud computing and enterprise networking.
“As an active participating member of JEDEC, Smart Modular is committed to DDR5 industry enablement and is aligned with its DRAM supplier partners to support the industry’s transition to DDR5,” said Smart marketing director Arthur Sainio. Smart Modular’s focus is on providing technical support to OEMs designing DDR5 memory into their systems.”
DDR5 also doubles burst length to BL16 and bank-count to 32 from 16 on DDR4.
For increased reliability and efficiency, DDR5 DIMMs have two 40bit independent sub-channels on the same module, and have a maximum die density of 64Gbit.
The company’s initial DDR5 module product family includes RDIMMs, UDIMMs and SODIMMs ranging from 16 to 64Gbyte.
Smart Modular Technologies is headquartered in California.
