Hynix announced it has developed
the world’s fastest and smallest 512Megabit mobile DRAM. This product meets the
JEDEC standards and operates at the world’s fastest speed of 200MHz. [more]
By using 32 I/Os, Hynix’s 512Mb
mobile DDR SDRAM processes 1.6Gbytes (400Mbps x 32) of data in 1 second, which
is by close to 1.5 times faster than speed of the company’s existing mobile
DRAM products. Hynix says, “as the third generation of mobile phones has
emerged, our 512Mb mobile DRAM is expected to offer higher capacity and faster
speed solutions, which are required for advanced handsets such as DMB players
and display phones.”
In addition to improved speed,
Hynix’s 512Mb mobile DRAM features the industry’s smallest size, 8mm x 10mm.
Thus the memory is projected to enhance the Company’s competitiveness in the
mobile sector, which has showed a trend of miniaturization. Moreover, Hynix is
expected to combine 512Mb mobile DRAM and NAND Flash in a multi-chip package
(MCP), which will contribute to production of slimmer mobile phones.
Hynix will continue enhancing its
development and marketing of mobile DRAM products in order to meet such
different demands for higher speed, larger capacity and lower power memory.
