Multi-Gigabyte/sec DRAM with the MicroUnity MediaChannel interface

Abstract
An emerging class of applications for DRAMs demands new levels of bandwidth per package. As the 64 Mb generation becomes predominant, many high-volume media and communications products will have a memory capacity requirement which can be met by a single DRAM component, yet the sustained bandwidth required from that memory will be on the order of a Gigabyte per second. Furthermore, at high levels of system integration, sensitive mixed signal elements will demand a low noise interconnect to external memory components. This paper presents an approach which can deliver the required performance via a very low noise interconnect at negligible incremental cost and power over conventional DRAMs.
