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 ...
Two types of DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules): a 168-pin SDRAM module (top) and a 184-pin DDR SDRAM module (bottom). Memory modules of SK Hynix. In computing, a memory module or RAM stick is a printed circuit board on which memory integrated circuits are mounted.
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.
The SDRAM module has two notches (rectangular cuts or incisions) on the bottom edge, while the DDR1 SDRAM module has one. Also, each module has eight RAM chips, but the lower one has an unoccupied space for the ninth chip; this space is occupied in ECC DIMMs. Three SDRAM DIMM slots on a ABIT BP6 computer motherboard.
The number of physical DRAMs depends on their individual widths. For example, a rank of ×8 (8-bit wide) DRAMs would consist of eight physical chips (nine if ECC is supported), but a rank of ×4 (4-bit wide) DRAMs would consist of 16 physical chips (18, if ECC is supported). Multiple ranks can coexist on a single DIMM.
A module composed of Micron Technology MT47H128M16 chips with the organization 128 Mib × 16, meaning 128 Mi memory depth and 16-bit-wide data bus per chip; if the module has 8 of these chips on each side of the board, there would be a total of 16 chips × 16-bit-wide data = 256 total bits width of data. For a 64-bit-wide memory data interface ...
One 64 GiB DDR5-4800 ECC 1.1 V registered DIMM (RDIMM) Example of an unregistered DIMM (UDIMM) Registered memory (also called buffered memory) is computer memory that has a register between the DRAM modules and the system's memory controller. A registered memory module places less electrical load on a memory controller than an unregistered one.
