IMT41K512M8DA-107:P – DDR3L SDRAM

IMT41K512M8DA belongs to a class of low powered DDR3L SDRAM (1.35V), which in turn is a low voltage version of the DDR3 (1.5V) SDRAM offered by Micron Technology. In this blog post, we are going to uncover the true potential offered by these low powered memory chipsets which could be used in versatile Industrial, Medical and Commercial applications. A particular part number mentioned in subject of this blog post refers to DDR3 SDRAM’s family hence, description here forth will cover the broader aspects of entire family which will also be true and apply to our particular SDRAM case here. These SDRAMs have employed several new technologies for high-speed operation while inheriting the DDR2 SDRAM architecture. DDR3 SDRAM achieves high-speed operation about twice of that of DDR2 SDRAM, but suppresses the increase in power consumption by using a voltage of 1.35 and 1.5 V for the power supply and interface. These RAMs got eight banks, which allows more efficient bank interleave access than that in the case of four banks and employs the 8-bit prefetch architecture for high-speed operation. The bus width of the DRAM core has been made eight times wider than the I/O bus width, which enables the operating frequency of the DRAM core to be 1/8 of the data rate of the I/O interface section. The READ operation converts 8-bit data read in parallel from the DRAM core to serial data, and outputs it from the I/O pin in synchronization with the clock while a WRITE operation converts serial data that is input from the I/O pin in synchronization with the clock to parallel data, and writes it to the DRAM core as 8-bit data. Because of these features, the burst length is basically eight bits, but 4-bit burst length is also supported considering the legacy architectures. Moreover, the DDR3 SDRAM has employed the RESET pin newly. The RESET pin is driven low during power-on or initialization process or when a reset is required.

Many state-of-the-art products, besides their technical challenges, require robust Microprocessors to fulfill their target requirements. This blog post presents one of the best in class Intel Atom C processor family with built-in security, while reducing energy demands to highlight its effectiveness in modular microarchitectures. The C series also proved helpful in designing modern portable, small form factor and low power operated computer and embedded systems including Low-cost subnotebook computers (netbooks), Low-cost desktop PCs (nettops), and Mobile internet devices (MIDs). we will take a look into these aspects as we move on, especially in the Intel Atom® Processor C2558 (2M Cache, 2.40 GHz) FC-BGA13E, Tray, which is considered one of the best in business.

What are Intel Atom processors?

Intel Atom series of microprocessors are manufactured by Intel Corporation, launched in 2008, are widely used in laptops, tablets, and phones where battery life is counts as a critical factor. Completely new microarchitecture with very little in common with other Intel PC Processors, Atom processors are Designed with three primary goals; To reduce power consumption, Sufficient performance for a full internet experience, and Full x86 architectue compatibility. With the improvement of these processors, which started with a single core at the beginning of their production, it became quad-core with one Thread for each of these cores. These processors have a cache memory of up to 2 megabytes, and the frequency of each core in this processor reaches about 2 GHz, which is considered optimized for both power and performance.

As we mentioned, the Intel Atom® Processor C2558 (2M Cache, 2.40 GHz) FC-BGA13E, Tray is one of the best in class. Let’s get to know this processor a little further.

What is Intel Atom® Processor C2558?

It is an Intel Atom processor class; this processor comes with four cores and four Threads. It is based on the Silvermont architecture on a 64-bit instruction set. The cache for this processor reaches 2 MB, and the processor frequency is approximately 2.40 Ghz. The processor supports 64 GB of DDR3 RAM, on two channels of RAM, and supports the PCI Express Revision 2 processor, with its support for four USB ports and 6 SATA ports, and a network card with a speed of up to 8 GB per second, and the price of this processor reaches 100 USD.
