Enabling Networking Applications Now and Into the Future
The unique requirements of communications and networking applications—like low latency, rigorous thermal specifications, and pristine signal integrity—demand high-performance, specialty memory. Choosing the right memory technology for your design is a critical decision you make on the initial board layout; so is choosing a memory supplier to provide it. Because we engineer and manufacture our solutions to meet the needs of your networking applications, we have plenty of options that make choosing Micron easy:
- High-bandwidth, low-latency RLDRAM® memory
- Wide variety of high-performance, small form factor modules
- Component DRAM in multiple memory generations, including SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, and DDR3
You can also take advantage of partnering programs we've established with key enablers like Beceem Communications, Texas Instruments, and Freescale. We help ensure interoperability between the controller and the memory so you don't have to. Our FAEs and AEs understand memory trends and cost/performance tradeoffs. They will work hard to help you choose the best solution and solve memory interface issues, maximize performance, and optimize our products’ signal integrity.
New 3DS Technology—Stacking the Deck for Better DRAM Module Performance
Micron is collaborating with JEDEC partners on a new DRAM technology—three-dimensional stacking (3DS). Dr. Aftab Farooqi, Senior Manager of Business Development in Micron's DRAM Solutions Group, demonstrates how devices with the specially designed 3DS die interface can offer next-generation modules a giant leap in density, performance, and bandwidth, while reducing power usage and latency compared to non-3DS designs.

Built for Networking
The unique requirements of communications and networking applications—low latency, rigorous footprint and thermal specifications, and pristine signal integrity, to name a few—demand high-performance, specialty memory.
High-Performance, Very Low-Profile Modules
For many networking devices, it's a space issue. Find the board real estate that you need with Micron's very low-profile (VLP) DDR2 SDRAM modules. The new-found space will improve airflow across the module, reducing thermal problems that can increase power consumption. You won't have to worry about redesigning either because Micron's VLP Mini-RDIMMs are backward-compatible in existing Mini-DIMM sockets. Your devices will perform better and will be ready for the next generation of carrier-grade communications equipment.
High-Bandwidth, Low-Latency RLDRAM Memory for Networking Applications
Servers, routers, and switches all require memory with performance-critical features. With Micron's RLDRAM® 3 memory, you can get it right the first time with higher densities, higher speeds, and the lowest DRAM random access latency.
DDR3 Networking Modules
Our high-performance DDR3 networking modules are designed and optimized for unmatched throughput and reliability. Find out more about our full spectrum of densities, speeds, and form factors in our new DDR3 Networking Module Quick Reference Guide.
