Samsung Mobile DRAM Brochure

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Samsung Mobile DRAM is designed to support the next generation of mobile devices by providing high-speed, power-saving memory in a slim profile. The brochure highlights the growing demand for specialized DRAM solutions driven by the shift from desktop PCs to mobile electronics, emphasizing the need for devices that are always on, connected, and capable of running high-performance applications with extended battery life.

Specifications and Features
Samsung Mobile DRAM offers high performance and extended battery life by consuming less power than standard DRAM chips. The introduction of the 20nm-class Low Power Double Data Rate 3 (LPDDR3) memory provides higher bandwidths and improved energy efficiency compared to LPDDR2. LPDDR3 operates at twice the speed of LPDDR2, with a data rate of 1600 Mbps and a maximum bandwidth of 12.8 GB per second.

Performance and Efficiency
Samsung LPDDR3 supports high operational speeds for large, high-resolution displays and multitasking functions with increased density. It is ranked higher in energy savings compared to other memory types, with advanced circuit architectures that conserve energy without sacrificing performance. Features like Temperature-Compensated Self-Refresh (TCSR) and Partial Array Self-Refresh (PASR) contribute to reduced power consumption.

Design and Form Factor
The demand for thinner mobile devices is addressed by Samsung's small form-factor packages, such as Discrete Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Arrays (FBGAs) and Package-on-Package (POP), which occupy minimal board space. These designs enable efficient use of space and maintain a lightweight profile for increased portability.

Benefits
Samsung Mobile DRAM provides benefits such as optimized viewing on large displays, ease of multitasking, extended battery life, and the ability to deliver lighter, thinner devices. The brochure includes a comparison table of LPDDR2 and LPDDR3, highlighting differences in density, clock frequency, and power consumption.
