Including an extreme current device for high-performance applications, this new family of server PMICs offers module manufacturers a complete DDR5 RDIMM memory interface chipset supporting a broad range of data centre use cases.
“Advanced data centre workloads like generative AI require the highest bandwidth and capacity server RDIMMs tailored to meet ever-increasing memory needs of a growing data pipeline,” said Sean Fan, chief operating officer at Rambus. “With the addition of this new family of server PMICs, we expand our foundational technology and offer customers a comprehensive memory interface chipset that supports multiple DDR5 server platform generations.”
“DDR5 memory modules incorporate new chip technologies to deliver higher levels of memory performance within the target power envelope,” explained Soo-Kyoum Kim, VP, memory semiconductors at IDC. “Rambus, a proven volume supplier of on-module memory interface chips, is now able to provide the critical PMIC components for the DDR5 memory module makers.”
The PMIC is a critical component in the DDR5 memory architecture as it enables more memory channels, higher capacity modules and greater bandwidth.
The Rambus DDR5 server PMIC family includes products for the JEDEC extreme current (PMIC5020), high current (PMIC5000) and low current (PMIC5010) specifications.
This new family of server PMICs, together with Rambus DDR5 RCD, SPD Hub and Temperature Sensor ICs, comprise a complete memory interface chipset for a broad range of DDR5 RDIMM configurations and use cases.
Consequently, Rambus is able to offer RDIMM manufacturers a one-stop shop for DDR5 memory interface chips, providing both validation assurance and faster time to market.
The Rambus DDR5 PMIC5020, PMIC5000, and PMIC5010 are now available.
