SMART’s automotive DRAM portfolio is rigorously tested to automotive requirements, delivering reliability, flexibility, and scalability for the evolving requirements of modern vehicles.

SMART Modular Technologies provides robust DRAM memory solutions tailored for automotive and transportation applications, engineered for reliability in extreme operating environments and high-performance data processing demands.

Problem Statement

Automotive and transportation systems, such as advanced driver-assistance (ADAS), electric vehicles, infotainment, and telematics, face increasing complexity and need memory modules that withstand harsh environments—extreme temperature swings, continual vibration, shock, and exposure to contaminants. Standard commercial memory often fails to deliver the resilience, endurance, and operational longevity required for mission-critical automotive features and real-time processing essential to safety and convenience.

Solution Overview

SMART Modular Technologies’ automotive DRAM solutions address these challenges with several key features and options designed for demanding transportation environments:

• Extended Automotive Temperature Range: SMART’s DDR5 and DDR4 memory modules operate reliably from −40°C to +105°C+105°C, ensuring stability from extreme winter cold to desert heat.

• Vibration and Shock Resistance: Underfill technology reinforces DRAM components and solder joints, providing superior resistance against vibration and shock, crucial in heavy-duty vehicles and transport equipment.

Patented retention clips prevent module or socket disengagement during violent movements or persistent vibration, enhancing reliability in rugged conditions.

• Conformal Coating and Environmental Protection: Optional conformal coating forms a protective barrier against moisture, dust, and corrosion, extending module service life in variable climates and environments.

• High-Density Modules and Multiple Form Factors: Solutions are available in various densities and configurations—including DIMM, VLP DIMM, SODIMM, and custom modules—supporting high-bandwidth, high-capacity requirements for real-time applications.

Multiple form factors ensure compatibility across embedded control units, infotainment clusters, camera systems, and powertrain controllers.
