SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®)
(NASDAQ:IDTI) today introduced a
high-speed multiplexer that expands the company’s existing portfolio
of DDR4 products targeting the nascent NVDIMM (non-volatile dual in-line
memory module) ecosystem. Additionally, Micron Technology has selected
IDT as its preferred supplier for NVDIMM multiplexers, which target the
enterprise and cloud server markets.
NVDIMM is a new architecture that provides data persistence to DRAM
(dynamic random-access memory) by allowing data to be backed up to
non-volatile memory, such as flash memory, during special events
including catastrophic power failure. Multiplexers are key components of
NVDIMM architecture, isolating the host controller from the DRAM memory
during "save" and "restore" operations between DRAM and non-volatile
memory.
Multiplexers have traditionally placed a burden on the signal integrity
of the memory channel, which can compromise the speed of the operation.
IDT's high-speed multiplexer is designed to mitigate the signal
integrity impact to the memory channel while enabling DDR4 NVDIMM
applications to run at bus rates of up to 2133 MT/s (megatransfers per
second) and beyond.
“Micron is committed to significantly improving the performance of
applications and systems by leveraging persistent memory,” said Robert
Feurle, Micron vice president, Compute & Networking Marketing. “Our team
has worked closely with IDT to develop a new high-speed multiplexer.
This new multiplexer will be used on Micron DDR4 NVDIMM products.”
The 12-bit bus switch/multiplexer comes in a VFBGA 48-pin package, for a
compact footprint that can replace data buffers on the DIMM for NVDIMM
applications. It features a make-before-break circuit that prevents
glitches when switching, and AC and DC parameters optimized for DDR4,
enabling the highest possible memory channel performance for NVDIMMs
even when intermixed with other DIMM types.
“The potential of persistent main memory in server and storage systems
is in the very early innings of being realized,” said Rami Sethi, vice
president and general manager of IDT’s Memory Interface Products. “As a
leading component supplier for DDR4 NVDIMMs, including NVDIMM registered
clock drivers (RCD), temperature sensors and now multiplexers, we have
diligently worked with leading companies like Micron to develop
solutions that deliver best-in-class performance in both homogeneous and
heterogeneous memory channel populations.”
