IC Memory Definitions

Description of Memory Module Types
CAM: Contact Addressable Memory
BEDO: Burst EDO
DDR: Double Data Rate [Data moves which each edge of the clock]
DDR2: Double Data Rate [On-Die-Termination, ODT, Architecture Changes], Memory has 2 data ports which run independently at DDR rates, 4 words per clock
DDR3: Double Data Rate, third generation
DDR-FCRAM: Double-Data-Rate, Fast-Cycle Random Access Memory [Different core memory arrangement then DDR RAM]
DIMM: Dual In-Line Memory Module. The front side PWB pins are not connected to the rear side pins, pins used for different functions.
DRAM: Dynamic Random Access Memory (Requires Refresh)
DRSL: Differential Rambus Signaling Levels
EDO: Extended Data Out
eDRAM: Embedded DRAM
EEPROM: Electrically Erasable PROM
EPROM: Erasable PROM
ESDRAM: Enhanced SDRAM
FB-DIMM: Fully-Buffered DIMM [JEDEC-standard DDR2 SDRAM]
FCRAM: Fast Cycle Random Access Memory
FRAM: Ferroelectric RAM (non-volatile RAM)
FPM: Fast Page Mode
GDDR: Graphics DDR I/II/III/IV; GDDR1, GDDR2, GDDR3, GDDR4 - 1.25GHz Clock for GDDR4
HDIMM ....
MDDR: Mobile DDR
NVRAM: Non-Volatile RAM
nvSRAM: combination of SRAM and EEPROM [also called nvRAM]
PBRAM: Pipelined Burst RAM
PROM: Programmable Read Only Memory
PSRAM pseudo-SRAM
RDRAM: Rambus DRAM
RLDRAM: Reduced Latency DRAM
QBM2 Quad Band Memory, DDR Compatible at increased speed
QDRII: Quad Data Rate [also called DDR2, DDRII, QDRSRAM, and QDR-2 SRAM]
RDIMM Registered DIMM
RIMM Rambus DIMM [RDRAM], In-stalled in pairs. 16-bit modules are 184-pin or 32-bit modules at 232-pins
RLDRAM: Reduced Latency DRAM
SIMM: Single In-Line Memory Module. Data width is 32 bits per memory stick, the front 72 pins and back 72 fingers on the card are connected together.
SODIMM: Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module [Laptop memory]
SDRAM: Synchronous DRAM
SDR DRAM: Single Data Rate SDRAM
SGRAM: Synchronous Graphic RAM
SLDRAM: Synchronous-Link DRAM
SRAM: Static Memory (Faster than DRAM, but more expensive)
UDIMM UnBuffered DIMM
ULP Ultra Low Profile memory
VLP-DIMM Very Low Profile DIMM [small form factor DDR/DDR2 Server/Routers/Switch memory]
VRAM Video RAM (Dual Ported)
XDR: Memory sticks using DRSL [also called XDIMM]
XDR: Memory sticks using DRSL [also called XDIMM]
ZBT: Zero Bus Turnaround [no bus latency, NoBL memory is a synchronous-burst SRAM. ZBT SRAM devices use the full bandwidth because they do not require turnaround cycles (idle cycles between read and write operations)]
