The World’s Fastest 200MHz 512Mb Mobile DRAM from Hynix

Hynix today announced it has developed the world’s fastest and smallest 512Megabit mobile DRAM. This product meets the JEDEC standards and operates at the world’s fastest speed of 200MHz.

By using 32 I/Os, Hynix’s 512Mb mobile DDR SDRAM processes 1.6Gbytes (400Mbps x 32) of data in 1 second, which is by close to 1.5 times faster than speed of the company’s existing mobile DRAM products. Hynix says,

“as the third generation of mobile phones has emerged, our 512Mb mobile DRAM is expected to offer higher capacity and faster speed solutions, which are required for advanced handsets such as DMB players and display phones.”

In addition to improved speed, Hynix’s 512Mb mobile DRAM features the industry’s smallest size, 8mm x 10mm. Thus the memory is projected to enhance the Company’s competitiveness in the mobile sector market, which has showed a trend of miniaturization.
