Problem Statement
In mission-critical environments, memory solutions face significant challenges including limited board space, thermal constraints, complex routing requirements, and the need for high reliability and ruggedization. Traditional down board DRAM solutions often struggle to scale effectively in density and speed due to these physical and design limitations. Signal integrity and environmental robustness can be compromised, reducing system reliability, especially for applications requiring DDR4 and DDR5 memory technologies in compact or ruggedized platforms.
Solution Overview
SMART Modular Technologies offers highly ruggedized memory modules designed specifically to address these challenges. Their portfolio includes DDR4 and DDR5 modules such as SODIMMs, RDIMMs, VLP RDIMMs, UDIMMs, and VLP UDIMMs. These modules provide superior scalability in both memory density and speed while optimizing board space and thermal management. Designed with ease of routing and high signal integrity in mind, SMART Modules enable designers to achieve reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions
Key Benefits:
• Scalability: Higher memory densities and faster speeds in smaller footprints compared to down board DRAM.
• Thermal Management: Improved thermal performance reducing risk of overheating in dense system designs.
• Ease of Routing: Simplified board level design with less complex routing and better signal integrity.
• Ruggedization: Enhanced durability and environmental protection for mission-critical applications.
• Reliability: Thorough qualification testing ensures dependable operation under challenging conditions.
