Micron Technology Inc. has begun sampling 125-MHz versions of its
64-Mbit synchronous DRAMs.
The devices use a 3.3-V power supply and are packaged in a 54-pin
TSOP. They are available in three configurations: 16-Mx4, 8-Mx8, and
4-Mx16.
"Micron is manufacturing the 64-Mbit SDRAM on our 0.25-micron process
technology, which should enable us to meet the cost and performance
targets required by our leading-edge customers," said Kit Fawcett,
SDRAM product marketing manager at Micron, Boise, Idaho. "Introduction
of these fast 64-Mbit SDRAM components coincides with the PC market and
other advanced technology markets beginning their transition from
66-MHz bus speeds to 100-MHz bus speeds in the first half of 1998."
Samples of 64-Mbyte and 128-Mbyte DIMMs, designed for operation at
100-MHz bus speeds, are available in 8-Mx64/72 and 16-Mx64/72
configurations, the company said.
"Micron has carefully designed both the 64-Mbit SDRAM components and
these new modules to meet emerging industry-standard requirements,"
said Kyle Daniels, module product marketing manager at Micron.
Micron is currently manufacturing 16-Mbit SDRAMs utilizing a
0.3-micron process, providing customers with 125-MHz SDRAM components
required for building 100-MHz SDRAM modules.
