To increase memory capacity and bandwidth, chips are combined on a module. For instance, the 64-bit data bus for DIMM requires eight 8-bit chips, addressed in parallel. Multiple chips with common address lines are called a memory rank. The term was introduced to avoid confusion with chip internal rows and banks. A memory module may bear more ...
Types of memory module include: TransFlash Memory Module; SIMM, a single in-line memory module; DIMM, dual in-line memory module Rambus memory modules are a subset of DIMMs, but are normally referred to as RIMMs; SO-DIMM, small outline DIMM, a smaller version of the DIMM, used in laptops; Compression Attached Memory Module, thinner than SO-DIMM
A DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) is a popular type of memory module used in computers. It is a printed circuit board with one or both sides (front and back) holding DRAM chips and pins . [ 1 ] The vast majority of DIMMs are manufactured in compliance with JEDEC memory standards , although there are proprietary DIMMs.
Registered (Buffered) DIMM (R-DIMM or RDIMM) modules insert a buffer between the pins of the command and address buses on the DIMM and the memory chips. A high-capacity DIMM might have numerous memory chips, each of which must receive the memory address, and their combined input capacitance limits the speed at which the memory bus can operate.
SDRAM memory module, zoomed. As an example, a 512 MB SDRAM DIMM (which contains 512 MB), might be made of eight or nine SDRAM chips, each containing 512 Mbit of storage, and each one contributing 8 bits to the DIMM's 64- or 72-bit width. A typical 512 Mbit SDRAM chip internally contains four independent 16 MB memory banks. Each bank is an array ...
In computing, serial presence detect (SPD) is a standardized way to automatically access information about a memory module.Earlier 72-pin SIMMs included five pins that provided five bits of parallel presence detect (PPD) data, but the 168-pin DIMM standard changed to a serial presence detect to encode more information.
Memory controller with differential serial connections to DDR2 FB-DIMMs. The AMB is visible in the center of each DIMM. A Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) is a type of memory module used in computer systems. It is designed to improve memory performance and capacity by allowing multiple memory modules to be each connected to the memory controller ...
The full memory timings of a memory module are stored inside of a module's SPD chip. On DDR3 and DDR4 DIMM modules, this chip is a PROM or EEPROM flash memory chip and contains the JEDEC -standardized timing table data format.
