SMART Modular Technologies Introduces Full Product Lineup of High-Density DDR2 Registered VLP DIMMs

SMART Modular Technologies has released a full lineup of DDR2 registered very low profile DIMMs, with densities ranging from 512MB to 2GB and a module height of only 0.72". These DIMMs, which are RoHS-compliant, are targeted for blade computing applications where low height and high density are required.

SMART offers two types of 2GB DDR2 registered VLP DIMMs: one using 512Mb devices and another using 1Gb devices. Both types use two-high BGA stacking for space savings. With the SMART approach, OEMs have the option to design in both types of 2GB modules and have the flexibility to switch between the two to take advantage of future pricing and availability trends.

For power-sensitive applications, such as network storage or embedded computing products, SMART offers x8-based VLP DIMMs. For these designs, power savings is achieved using fewer devices per rank of memory on a module.

SMART’s lineup of DDR2 registered VLP DIMMs is offered in three speed grades that specifically address the needs of sub-1U high-performance blade computing applications: PC2-5300 (DDR2-667), PC2-4200 (DDR2-533), and PC2-3200 (DDR2-400). For all of its DDR2 VLP DIMMs, SMART uses the highest-grade DRAM devices and performs rigorous module testing in order to provide high quality and robust performance. To ensure compatibility and repeatability, SMART performs thorough system testing and applies strict bill of materials (BOM) control.
