Overview
The RDRAM
device is a general purpose high-perfor-
mance memory device suitable for use in a broad range of
applications including communications, graphics, video and
any other application where high bandwidth and low latency
are required.
The 128Mbit RDRAM devices are extremely high-speed
CMOS DRAMs organized as 8M words by 16. The use of
Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology permits 800MHz
transfer rates while using conventional system and board
design technologies.
RDRAM devices are capable of sustained data transfers at
1.25 ns per two bytes (10ns per sixteen bytes).
The architecture of RDRAM devices allows the highest
sustained bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous randomly
addressed memory transactions. The separate control and
data buses with independent row and column control yield
over 95% bus efficiency. The RDRAM device's 32 banks
support up to four simultaneous transactions.
System oriented features for mobile, graphics and communi-
cations include power management and byte masking.
