Overview
The Rambus
®
RIMM™ module is a general purpose high-
performance memory module suitable for use in a broad
range of applications including computer memory, personal
computers, workstations, and other applications where high
bandwidth and low latency are required.
The Rambus RIMM module consists of 256Mb/288Mb
Direct Rambus DRAM devices. These are extremely high-
speed CMOS DRAMs organized as 16M words by 16 or 18
bits. The use of Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology
permits 600 MHz, 711 MHz or 800 MHz transfer rates while
using conventional system and board design technologies.
RDRAM devices are capable of sustained data transfers at
1.25 ns per two bytes (10ns per 16 bytes).
The RDRAM architecture enables the highest sustained
bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous, randomly addressed,
memory transactions. The separate control and data buses
with independent row and column control yield over 95%
bus efficiency. The RDRAM's 32-bank architecture supports
up to four simultaneous transactions per device.
