Processing at a speed of 833MHz at 32Mb density, world has its fastest embedded DRAM. And who has achieved this? Why, tech-giant Toshiba, of course. Toshiba has formally announced at the ISSCC (International Solid State Circuits Conference), held at San Francisco CA, that it has developed the world’s fastest circuit technology for embedded DRAM for System LSI. Yep, the fast circuit technology, which can be applied to graphic processing LSI, has been used to produce 32Mb DRAMs running at a speed of 833MHz.
The secret to this achievement of Toshiba’s has been a “pseudo two port system.” Unlike the conventional read and write systems that process in serial, Toshiba’s system processes in parallel, dividing the overall memory in two parts. Also the new system optimizes command structure, making DRAMs faster and bringing them in conformity with contemporary standards.
Needless to say, the company is really excited about its achievement and is desirous of bringing it into its 65mn system LSI process as soon as possible. These high-speed embedded DRAMs will find applications in a host of areas like next-gen digital consumer products, gaming, cell phones and other applications that require high speed transfer of data.
