New 2Gigabit DDR2 mobile RAM from Elpida using 40nm process

Elpida has released the LPDDR2 chip, a 2-gigabit DDR2 Mobile RAM. This is manufactured using the 40nm process line at Elpida's Hiroshima Plant.

The new 2-gigabit DDR2 Mobile RAM targets the smart phone and tablet PC markets. In addition to featuring low operating voltage of 1.2V it achieves a 1066Mbps high-speed data transfer rate and can reach 8.5GB/second for a 64-bit system configuration. This device uses about 30% less operating current as compared to Elpida's existing 50nm products the new Mobile RAM is an eco-friendly DRAM that contributes to extending the operating time of mobile devices.

Elpida plans to ship the new DDR2 as a bare chip for MCP and to configure it for PoP and FBGA packages. The company's FBGA packages fully leverage die-stacking technology to provide a line-up of 2-gigabit to 8-gigabit products.

Availability:
Sample shipments of the new 2-gigabit DDR2 Mobile RAM will begin in August and mass production is expected to start in September of this year.
