Hynix developed 1Gb low power DDR2 (LPDDR2)
Hynix Semiconductor introduced the 1 Gigabit mobile LPDDR2. This product meets JEDEC standard and is expected to lead international LPDDR2 standard.
1Gb LPDDR, Low Power DDR2, is built on the Company’s 66nm process technology. It boasts maximum operating speed of 800Mbps at 1.2V power supply. It consumes less power but operates at a faster speed than mobile DDR. With this speed and small form factor package of 9mm x 12mm, it is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of mobile applications which demand high memory density and fast operating speed features.
This new product has the function of Hynix’s ‘One Chip Solutions’ and it allows Hynix the flexibility of offering wire bonded options to meet the specific needs of the customer by combining SDRAM/DDR DRAM interfaces, and x16/x32 organisations on a single chip.
Hynix plans to start mass production of LPDDR2 in the fourth quarter of this year to meet the increasing demand for high performance mobile applications.
