RAMBUS RIMM MODULES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MT4VR3216/18A, MT6VR4816/18A, MT8VR6416/
18A and MT16VR12816/18A RDRAM RIMM modules are
general-purpose, high-performance, packet-oriented, dy-
namic random-access memories configured as 64MB/72MB,
96MB/108MB, 128/144MB and 256MB/288MB densities.
The RIMM modules consist of 4, 6, 8, or 16 Direct RDRAM
devices organized as 8M words by 16 or 18 bits.
The RIMM modules use Rambus signaling level (RSL)
technology to achieve 356 MHz or 400 MHz clock speeds
using differential clocks. Control and I/O data is trans-
ferred on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. This
allows data transfers at 1.25ns per two bytes (10ns per 16
bytes) during peak operation.
All DRAM commands are communicated to the RIMM
modules through a 3-bit row or 5-bit column bus inpackets
which are 8 bits in length. These packets are then decoded
on the RDRAM into the operation and address requiring
access.
Initialization and mode configurations for the RIMM
modules are accessed through slow speed CMOS Serial I/
O interface.
The architecture of Direct RDRAMs allows high sus-
tained bandwidth memory transactions for multiple, si-
multaneous, semi-random addresses. Each Direct RDRAM’s
thirty-two banks can support up to four simultaneous
transactions (within bank restrictions).
System-oriented features include power management,
byte masking and x16/18 organization. The two data bits in
the x18 organization are general and can be used for addi-
tional storage, bandwidth, or for error correction.
