Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte Ltd (FMAL) has launched two consumer FCRAM memory chips featuring an operating temperature range that has been extended to a high-temperature of 125°C for the first time in memory with a DDR SDRAM interface. The 512Mb MB81EDS516545 and 256Mb MB81EDS256545 are low power consumption memory optimized for use in system-in-packages (SiPs) in digital consumer products such as digital TVs and digital video camcorders.
Even for operating temperatures of 125°C, these FCRAMs can provide data transfer rates that are more than twice the data rate of conventional DDR SDRAM memory, while keeping power consumption low. In fact, the 512Mb FCRAM can provide a reduction in power consumption of up to 50 percent compared to the equivalent conventional DDR2 SDRAM memory. Therefore these new FCRAMs also contribute to a 50 percent reduction of CO
2 emissions from the memory in digital consumer products.
The products have a 64-bit bus width, maximum operating frequency of 200MHz, and can provide a data transfer rate of 3.2GBps. For operating temperatures of 105°C and below with an operating frequency of 216MHz, the data transfer rate increases to 3.46GBps.
