SMART Memory for Rugged and Industrial Applications Problem Statement Application Examples
• • Industrial PCs • Medical devices • Oil, gas, and drilling infrastructure • Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS)
Automated manufacturing systems
and industrial blade servers
Many rugged and industrial applications face critical challenges when deploying DRAM memory modules in harsh environments. These challenges include the need for reliable operation over wide temperature ranges, exposure to moisture, sulfur, and salt, as well as resistance to severe shock and vibration conditions. Applications such as defense systems, transportation, automated manufacturing, and medical devices often require long-term, uninterrupted service and compatibility with specialized form factors for confined computing enclosures.
Solution Overview SMART Modular Technologies addresses these challenges with DRAM modules engineered specifically for rugged and industrial environments:
•
Industrial and Extended Temperature Support: Modules operate reliably across wide temperature ranges to prevent failures in extreme climates.
•
Special Environmental Protection Features: Design elements include anti-sulfur passive components, conformal coatings for moisture protection, and underfill on components to withstand vibration and altitude.
•
Best-Fit Form Factors: A diverse lineup covers standard DIMMs, VLP DIMMs, SODIMMs, Mini-DIMMs, and more for integration flexibility in specialized computing systems.
•
High Reliability and Long-Term Support: SMART ensures reliability through extensive high and low temperature stress testing, selective DRAM component sourcing, and module retention mechanisms for high-shock environments.
•
Comprehensive Application Coverage: Solutions are suitable for automated manufacturing systems, industrial PCs, medical devices, oil, gas and drilling infrastructure, COTS, and industrial blade servers.
