LP DDR2 DRAM momentum begins to build

The LP DDR2 specification is potentially important to mobile device designers, and also to developers of power-conscious servers, primarily because of its reduced operating voltages. However, the devil is in the implementation details. By Ron Wilson, Executive Editor -- EDN, 7/25/2008 The JEDEC specification for the low-power DDR2 (LP DDR2) DRAM is likely to be published fairly soon, according to sources. But already at the Denali MemCon conference this week at least two vendors were discussing LP DDR2 products: a DRAM from Samsung, and a controller IP block from have announced LP DDR2 devices. The LP DDR2 specification is potentially important to mobile device designers, and also to developers of power-conscious servers, primarily because of its reduced operating voltages—as low as 1.2V for I/O and for the DRAM core—and...
