Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today announced the business’ first integrated power management ICs (PMICs) ? S2FPD01, S2FPD02 and S2FPC01, for the fifth-generation double data rate (DDR5) dual in-line memory module (DIMM).
Samsung Brings New Power Management Solutions for DDR5 Modules
One major design improvement to the most current generation DRAM arrangement includes integrating the PMIC into the memory module ? past generations placed the PMIC on the motherboard ? offering increased compatibility and signal integrity, and giving a more reliable and sustained performance. For improved performance productivity and load-transient responses, Samsung’s new PMICs for DDR5 modules have been furnished with a high-effectiveness hybrid gate driver and a proprietary control design (asynchronous-based dual-phase buck control scheme).
This scheme allows the DC voltage to step down from high to low with a fast transient response to changes in the output load current and adapts the transformation accordingly to proficiently regulate its output voltage at near-constant levels. The control scheme also features both pulse width and pulse frequency modulation strategies, forestalling delays and malfunctions when switching modes. “With enhanced power effectiveness and low output swell voltage, the new PMICs S2FPD01, S2FPD02 and S2FPC01 allow data centers, enterprise servers and PC applications to take full advantage of their DDR5 performance for profoundly demanding, memory-concentrated tasks,” said Harry Cho, VP of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. Two of Samsung’s new DDR5 DIMM PMIC arrangements, the S2FPD01 and the S2FPD02, offer optimal performance for today’s data center and enterprise servers that should run heavy analytics, machine and profound learning, and other various figuring tasks in real time. The FPD01 is designed for modules with low thickness; FPD02 for higher thickness.
In addition, by executing a high-productivity hybrid gate driver instead of a linear regulator, Samsung’s new PMICs can operate at up to 91-percent power effectiveness. The S2FPC01, Samsung’s other new PMIC, is tailored for use in work area or laptop PCs. Designed on a 90-nanometer (nm) measure hub, the PMIC arrangement offers a more agile performance in a smaller package. Samsung’s DDR5 DIMM power management ICs, the S2FPD01, S2FPD02 and S2FPC01, are currently being sampled to customers.
