To push access times toward those of SRAM while achieving much higher densities, embedded DRAM needs a structure that differs from both commodity DRAM and conventional embedded DRAM. The challenge is ...

For applications where performance is of primary importance, designers have traditionally chosen SRAM technology over DRAM. Although commodity DRAM offers much higher density and a lower cost per bit, ...

The number of systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) that require an interface to off-chip memory is increasing. As a result, more and more designers are turning to double-data-rate (DDR) SDRAM interfaces such as ...
