Infineon samples 256-Mbit DDR SDRAM Semiconductor Business News (04/11/00, 10:31:55 AM EST) Infineon Technologies AG is sampling its 256-Mbit double-data-rate (DDR) synchronous DRAM. The 256-Mbit part strengthens Infineon's position in the memory market and opens the way for the low-cost, high-performance DDR technology in the server, workstation, and desktop PC markets, the company said. Organized as 64-Mbit x 4 and 32-Mbit x 8, the chips are mounted in the industry standard 66-pin 400-mm TSOP-II package. The 256-Mbit DDR SDRAMs are available compliant with the PC200 standard as well as in faster PC266A and PC266B versions. "With our new 256-Mbit DDR SDRAM, Infineon anticipates the industry's move toward the double-data-rate standard later this year," said Harald Eggers, senior vice president and general manager of Infineon's Memory Products Division. The first 256-Mbit DDR chips, with limited availability, will come from the pre-production DRAM joint venture formed by Infineon, IBM, and Toshiba in East Fishkill, N.Y. Full commercial production will be transferred to the White Oak Semiconductor manufacturing site in Richmond, Va. Production volume will be ramped by the end of this year. Industry-standard modules based on the DDR components are available now. Initial module densities will be 512 and 256 Mbytes, with a 1-Gbyte module to follow. Infineon is supporting the 184-pin standard for DDR DIMMs and will offer both registered modules for high-end server and workstation applications and unbuffered modules for performance desktop PCs and low-end servers and workstations
