Mobile XDR Memory Architecture

The Mobile XDR™ memory architecture is the world's fastest and most power-efficient memory for mobile applications. Capable of achieving data rates of 3.2 to 4.3Gigabits per second (Gbps) per pin at an unprecedented power efficiency of 2.2milliwatts per Gigabit per second (mW/Gbps), Mobile XDR is a complete memory solution ideal for the low-power and high-performance requirements of next-generation smartphones, netbooks, and mobile gaming and multimedia products.

Mobile XDR memory can meet the growing performance demands of future mobile systems driven by applications such as HD video capture and encoding, and 3D gaming. In addition, Mobile XDR memory's high performance at unmatched power efficiency can deliver extended battery life in next-generation mobile products. Further, the Mobile XDR architecture supports the use of existing manufacturing processes and infrastructure which lowers cost, reduces risk and speeds time to market.

The Mobile XDR memory architecture satisfies the bandwidth requirements of future mobile systems with the fewest number of devices possible. Each Mobile XDR DRAM can deliver 12.8 to 17GigaBytes per second (GB/s) of bandwidth from a single, 4-byte-wide device.

The Mobile XDR memory architecture provides a total system solution which is comprised of the Mobile XDR Controller IO Cell (MIO) and the Mobile XDR Digital Memory Controller (MMC) which are implemented in an SoC such as an application or media processor, and the Mobile XDR DRAM. The MIO, MMC, and Mobile XDR DRAM designs are compatible with mainstream, cost-effective SoC and DRAM manufacturing environments and process roadmaps.
