The new device is designed to meet demanding applications, including edge computing, automotive, industrial 4.0 and 5G applications. Renesas Electronics has released what it claims is the industry's first industrial temperature DDR5 (5RCD0148H) and DDR4 (4RCD0232K) registered clock driver (RCD).
The device offers 2X channel speed improvements, low latency and excellent power management, allowing DDR5 industrial temperature memory and memory downtime applications, while providing reliability over a wide temperature range for existing DDR4 applications. The new industrial temperature RCD supports temperatures as low as -400 ° C and as high as 1050 ° C, while commercial temperature devices typically operate between 0 ° C and 700 ° C. Its industrial temperature RCD supports DDR5 speeds up to 5200MT/s and DDR4 speeds up to 3200MT/s.
Rami Sethi, Vice President and General Manager, Electronic Data Center Business Unit, Renesas said："Emerging fields such as Intelligent Edge and Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) combine traditional computing and communications architectures and require server components that can withstand the harsh environment at the edge of the network," "Renesas Electronics works in concert with our partners to make our RCD products qualified over a wider temperature range to tap into these new markets."
Micron's vice president and general manager of core computing, "It takes a co-ordinated effort from the storage ecosystem to deliver a wide range of products that reliably extend the temperature range and withstand extreme environmental conditions," said Malcolm Humphrey, a former head of marketing at Macquarie. "Micron's collaboration with partners such as Renesas opens up a new market for next-generation memory in the smart space."
The company's industrial temperature memory interface components can be used in conjunction with its complementary timing, power and 5G RF and baseband products, providing a comprehensive solution for a wide range of wireless access and edge computing applications.
