AdvancedTCA Summit, Booth #600, Santa Clara, Calif., October 17, 2006 – Virtium Technology Inc., manufacturer of memory products for specialized computers in demanding environments, today broadened its DDR2 and DDR2 ECC registered SO-DIMM product families designed for telecom equipment manufacturers and evolving telecommunications applications. Virtium’s DDR2 product line now features Very Low Profile (VLP) DDR2 MINI-RDIMM and VLP DDR2 UDIMM products. Virtium’s industry-leading ECC registered SO-DIMM product line features SO-RDIMM and ECC unbuffered SO-CDIMM products. Both series of products are designed to support next-generation telecom platforms, such as Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA) and MicroTCA, emerging standard platforms for telecommunications equipment.
Virtium is the first industrial memory manufacturer to add error correction code (ECC) and registered functionality to the DDR2 SO-DIMM, creating new SO-RDIMM and SO-CDIMM standard memory products optimized for specific OEM applications requiring ECC capability. The company has also taken the lead in an industry-wide initiative to standardize the DDR2 ECC SO-DIMM, leading the JEDEC taskforce to create specifications and design files to assure memory compatibility for solutions provided by the various memory vendors. JEDEC has recently finalized pin-out for the ECC SO-DIMM which is expected to be standardized shortly.
“Full-featured memory solutions drive high-performance, space-saving designs,” said Phan Hoang, director of research and development at Virtium Technology Inc. and working group chairman for JEDEC’s 72b-SO-RDIMM Working Group. “We’ve developed these as powerful standard solutions, answering specific customer needs and increasing their competitive advantage.”
Virtium’s lead-free DDR2 VLP MINI-RDIMM and VLP UDIMM products are currently available at 1GB densities and speed ranges up to PC2-6400 (DDR2) for both commercial and extended temperature ranges. These products are geared not only for ATCA/MicroTCA, but also many other embedded Single Board Computer (SBC) applications.
