Mobile-RAM – Extended Battery
Lifetime for Handhelds
A S O N E O F T H E W O R L D ’ S T O P T H R E E memory companies, Infineon offers a wide portfolio of
leading-edge Mobile-RAM devices (low-power SDRAMs) targeted specifically at:
PDAs
Cellphones (smart and feature phones)
Digital cameras
MP3 players
I N F I N E O N ’ S M O B I L E - R A M product line combines
Ultra low-power consumption for battery-powered systems with
Extra compact chip-scale packages for space-constrained applications
I N F I N E O N ’ S M O B I L E - R A M cuts power consumption by up to 80 % (depending on operating conditions
and system design) – thanks to its latest memory technology, low operating voltage (1.8 V) and its unique, integrated
power management features.
M O B I L E - R A M D E V I C E S come in a Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package. These packages leverage
Infineon’s proprietary wire bonding Board-On-Chip (BOC) technology for smallest form factors. The latest product
generation further improves form factor by reducing package heights from 1.2 to 1 mm.
Impressive Power Consumption Savings
I N F I N E O N ’ S M O B I L E - R A M devices achieve these dramatic power consumption savings by measuring
the temperature with an integrated sensor and automatically adjusting the refresh interval accordingly.
F O R U S E R S , this means that their devices can either run twice as long on a single battery charge or can
offer completely new features that would have been previously unthinkable. The fact that nearly half of all PDAs produced
today contain Mobile-RAMs from Infineon confirms the company’s pioneering role in this segment.

Speed:
133 MHz
CAS Latency:

OCTS (On-Chip Temperature Sensor):
The built-in temperature sensor adapts the refresh
rate to the actual junction temperature of the chip
without draining any CPU power. (Note: with
standard DRAMs, the refresh rate is set to work at
the max. temperature.)
TCSR (Temperature-Compensated Self-Refresh):
Same as OCTS but externally triggered
CPU power required
PASR (Partial Array Self-Refresh):
Allows user to select volume of memory needed to
further reduce power consumption
Adjustable from all 4 banks to 1/16 array
DPD (Deep Power-Down):
Maximum power consumption reduction by cutting
off power supply to Mobile-RAM
Data is not retained
DS (Selectable Drive Strength):
Can be adjusted to reflect bus load, e.g. half
strength for point-to-point and full strength for
module applications
