NEC takes a step to achieve differentiation, and licensing position: A service of Semiconductor Business News, CMP Media Inc. Story posted at 11:45 a.m. EDT/8:45 a.m. PDT, 8/31/98 NEC's design is accepted as Jedec standard TOKYO -- NEC Corp. today said its virtual channel memory (VCM) core design for DRAMs has been accepted as a Jedec (Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council) standard to allow faster memory access. Instead of enhancing the memory bus interface, the NEC approach is to improve the basic DRAM core's operational speed. The VCM design allows the memory core to perform simultaneous foreground and background operations for multitasking. NEC said the faster DRAM speed can thus be obtained with minimal changes to memory interfaces and the BIOS of the PC. The Jedec-approved VCM standard can be used for single data rate or double data rate DRAMs. The Japanese chip maker is hoping that the Jedec standard will lead to VCM being adopted by more memory device suppliers to increase its use in industry.
