Double Data Rate is a memory standard that enables RAM chips to transmit output twice in every cycle of the system clock. The DDR standard was superseded in 2003 by DDR2, a memory standard offering ...

When it comes to PC components, newer is almost always better. But unlike processors or video cards, new PC memory technologies don't come along very often. Also known as random access memory or RAM ...

DDR2 memory has been the mainstream over the last 3 years. Intel first brought DDR2 into the market when it launched its 9xx series of Express chipsets. These saw DDR2 hitting only 533MHz; originally ...

Well, it's now official; AMD has finally started to embrace DDR3 memory and it's about time. Intel has already got eight chipsets out that support DDR3 memory and the Core i7 is devoted solely to DDR3 ...

There is talk that DDR2 memory is nearing the end of its life, and while this could be true to a certain extent, I believe it to be more of the opposite. While DDR3 is on the horizon and will take ...

With the launch of their 900 series chipsets, and LGA775 based Pentium 4 processors, Intel introduced the use of DDR2 system memory on the desktop. DDR1 system memory had been the standard for quite a ...

High performance DDR2 SDRAM is an increasingly common memory solution for designs requiring improved data bandwidth capabilities, lower power, and enhanced signaling features. However, the benefits of ...

Note: This is the second part of a two-part article covers the remaining steps to implement DDR or DDR2 external memory interfaces (EMIFs) using FPGAs via ALTDLL and ALTDQ_DQS megafunctions. Steps 4 ” ...
