FREMONT, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 28, 2007 -- SMART Modular Technologies (WWH), Inc. (SMART)
(
NASDAQ:
SMOD), a leading independent manufacturer of memory modules,
embedded computing subsystems, and TFT-LCD display products, introduces the
industry's first 4GB PC2-4200 244-pin DDR2 Mini-Registered DIMM (RDIMM)
designed using CoolFlex and Dual Die Package (DDP) technology. SMART is
expanding its already wide lineup of DDR2 modules with its 4GB Mini-RDIMM
to accommodate the need for higher memory capacity in space-constrained
applications.
According to market research firm iSuppli's H2 2006 DRAM module report,
worldwide 4GB DIMM shipments in 2007 should reach 10.58 million units,
which is an increase of 753% over 2006. SMART's 4GB DDR2 Mini-DIMMs are
well-suited for a wide variety of storage, networking, telecom, and server
applications.
SMART's 4GB DDR2 Mini-RDIMM is configured as 512Mx72 with the option of
utilizing either a 4-rank module using SMART-built 1Gb (256Mx4) DDPs, or a
2-rank module using 256Mx4 BGA DDR2 SDRAMs. This option provides OEMs the
flexibility to transition from the 4-rank 512Mb-based option to the 2-rank
1Gb-based option as market demand drives the price crossover point between
512Mb and 1Gb devices.
This new RoHS-compliant memory module is the industry's first 4GB DDR2
Mini-RDIMM designed with CoolFlex foldable PCB technology. CoolFlex allows
for doubling the memory capacity with 36 DRAM placements on four sides. The
new 4GB DDR2 Mini-RDIMM is also designed with two registers and two Phase
Locked Loops for reduced loading and improved signal integrity. SMART's 4GB
DDR2 Mini-RDIMM follows the JEDEC standard pin-out and has the additional
Error Correction Code functionality required by many types of
data-sensitive applications. Mini-DIMMs can be mounted with vertical,
right-angled, or angled sockets to support design versatility.
"SMART is focused on satisfying OEMs ever-increasing demand for more memory
capacity in small form factors," stated Alan Gulachenski, SMART's Senior
Director of Advanced Memory Solutions. "Their small size and socketing
options make SMART Mini-DIMMs a practical and versatile memory solution in
many storage, networking, telecom, and server applications."
