Bigger SDRAMs save space and power
A new range of 256Mbit x32 SDRAM devices offers space-saving, low-power benefits for mobile applications such as digital cameras and other battery-driven, handheld consumer products.
A new range of 256Mbit x32 SDRAM devices offers space-saving, low-power benefits for mobile applications such as digital cameras and other battery-driven, handheld consumer products These single-die devices offer a 50% reduction in board space and a 65% power savings over multi-chip package (MCP) designs that use two 128Mbit x16 FBGA-packaged devices, thus reducing design and implementation costs

CD covers full range of microcontrollers and tools
Available now free from Sunrise Electronics is a new CD featuring all the latest information on NEC's extensive range of microcontroller families and development tools.
"Elpida strives to provide its customers in the mobile applications space with single-chip solutions that save board space and minimise power consumption without sacrificing overall product performance", said Nigel Ford, memory specialist at Sunrise Electronics.
"A small, low-power component is essential for successful implementation in battery-controlled consumer products".
Elpida's 256Mbit x32 monolithic SDRAM devices operate at up to 166MHz to provide mobile applications with high-speed, high-density benefits needed to achieve maximum product performance.
The devices (part numbers EDS2532AA, EDS2532CA, EDS2732AA, EDS2732CA) are organised as four banks of 2M x 32bit, and are produced using Elpida's proven 0.11-micron process technology.
The 256Mbit devices are packaged in JEDEC-standard 90-ball FBGA packages and provide the low-power consumption (VDD 3.3/2.5V) critical for battery-powered handheld products.
In addition, the devices have a programmable burst length (BL) of 1, 2, 4, 8 and full page, and offer a CAS latency (CL) of 2, 3.
Refresh functions occur at a rate of 4096 refresh cycles/64ms and have two variations - auto refresh and self-refresh.
Data and samples are available now from Sunrise Electronics, with volume production expected in September 2003.
