Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM (AKA SDRAMII) is precisely what the name implies. A
clock cycle can be represented as a square wave, with the rising edge defined as
the transition from "0" to "1", and the falling edge as
"1" to "0". In SDRAM, only one of these wave edges is used,
but DDR SDRAM references both, effectively doubling the rate of data
transmission. Unlike 168-pin SDRAM, DDR SDRAM utilizes a 184-pin plug. Although
the basic motherboard technology does not need to be changed, DDR SDRAM is not
backward-compatible on motherboards designed for SDRAM. Image Courtesy Unigen As
the name implies, DDR SDRAM developed out of SDRAM, via SLDRAM. Like SLDRAM, it
is being developed by a consortium - largely the same group of companies
involved with SLDRAM - that has incorporated as AMI2 (Advanced Memory
International, Inc.). |
