  1. High Performance Next­Generation Memory Technology and Beyond Dean Klein, Vice President of Market Development Micron Technology, Inc.

  2. Predicted DDR2 DDR3 DDR SDRAM Data Transfer Rate TrendsPC Main Memory DRAM bandwidth requirements are doubling approximately every 3 years

  3. 256Mb DDR2 Preferred Memory Solution for 512MB Dual­Channel Systems • Signal integrity limits bus loading at higher transfer rates. No longer able to put 4 DIMMs on one memory channel 5 1 2 M B D I M M 5 1 2M B D I MM 2 5 6 M B D I M M 2 5 6M B D I MM 2 5 6 M B D I M M 2 5 6M B D I MM Total 4.26 GB/s for DDR533 Total 8.52 GB/s for DDR533 Memory Controller Memory Controller 4.26 GB/s 4.26 GB/s 4.26 GB/s Dual channel provides 2X the bandwidth

  4. GDDR3 • Graphics memory will lead I/O definition for desktop and server main memory • GDDR3 features • 8 Meg x 32 configuration • Up to 800 MHz (1600 Mb/s) • 1.8V VDD/VDDQ • Four internal banks • 4n prefetch • ODT • Calibrated output drive

  5. Memory per­Pin Data Rate Trends Graphics 4000 GDDR4 3000 GDDR3 2000 Device Data Rate (Mb\s per Pin) PC DDR3 1000 DDR2 0 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Year

  6. DDR3 Signaling • DDR3 requirement is 800 MT/s-1600 MT/s • Migration can leverage from GDDR3 • GDDR3 is designed for operation at 1000 MT/s-1500 MT/s • DQs on GDDR3 are point­to­point • DQs utilize VDDQ terminated push-pull drivers Typical 128­bit Bus/Dual Load Graphics System

  7. DDR3 PC Data Bus Module 1 Rank 1 Rank 2 Single DIMM in point­to­point configuration Term Term RCVR RCVR System Controller • On­die termination simulations with two loads at 1066 MT/s data rate • Improved signal integrity Reads Writes Signal Voltage (V) Signal Voltage (V) Time (nanoseconds) Time (nanoseconds)

  8. DDR3 Server Data Bus Module 1 Module 2 Rank 1 Rank 2 Rank 1 Rank 2 Hubs added to DIMM drive DRAMs and allow multiple DIMMs per DQ Bus Term Term Term Term RCVR RCVR RCVR RCVR Data Buffer Data Buffer DRVR DRVR DRVR RCVR DRVR RCVR System Controller High­Speed System Bus More DIMMs Reads Writes • On-die termination simulations with two loads at 1600 MT/s data rate Signal Voltage (V) Signal Voltage (V) Time (nanoseconds) Time (nanoseconds)
