FREMONT, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 24, 2006 -- SMART Modular Technologies (
NASDAQ:
SMOD), a
leading independent manufacturer of memory modules, embedded computing
subsystems, and TFT-LCD display products, has introduced CoolFlex DDR2 2GB
very low profile (VLP) 0.72" registered DIMM (RDIMM). This new memory
module uses folded PCB technology to double memory capacity and eliminate
the need for stacked or multi-die DRAMs.
Specifically designed to be cost-effective, SMART's CoolFlex DDR2 2GB VLP
RDIMM is aimed at mainstream blade-server, ATCA telecom, and network
computing applications. The new CoolFlex DDR2 2GB VLP RDIMM is configured
as 256Mx72 and uses mainstream standard 128Mx4 BGA DRAMs with a speed grade
of 5300 (DDR2-400, 533, 667).
"SMART has employed its advanced design expertise to cost-effectively
achieve more memory capacity in less space than competing solutions,"
explained Mike Rubino, SMART's Vice President of Engineering.
"Demonstrating the benefits of next-generation module design and
fabrication technologies, our new CoolFlex modules meet customer demands
for high density and high performance in a thermally and space-efficient
package."
SMART's complete lineup of registered CoolFlex DDR2 DIMMs and FBDIMMs
features an innovative foldable PCB technology. The benefits of this unique
approach include twice as much surface area for high-density modules, a
thermal aluminum core for optimized cooling, improved electrical
performance with better timing margins, high durability and reliability,
and the avoidance of stacked or multi-die DRAMs.
Based on these benefits, SMART's new CoolFlex DDR2 2GB VLP RDIMM is
especially well suited for use in space-constrained 1U and sub-1U blade
server and network computing applications. The modules can be mounted
vertically to save board space while still maintaining tight DIMM spacing
to allow for proper system airflow.
The ordering part numbers for the new CoolFlex 2GB VLP DDR2 RDIMMs are
listed in the table below.
