Micron has announced that it is now sampling a monolithic 2Gb low-power DDR2 (LPDDR2) memory device designed for smartphones, tablet PCs and other mobile products.

The new Micron 2Gb LPDDR2 operates at 1.2V, reducing power consumption as much as 50% when compared to the previous-generation LPDDR1. It also delivers more speed compared to LPDDR1, with a data transfer speed of up to 1066Mbps, Micron said.

Micron also added that the new LPDDR2 can be used as a stand-alone device, or in combination with NAND flash for multichip package (MCP) or package-on-package (POP) solutions.

The power and performance benefits of LPDDR2 make it a popular mobile memory solution for ARM-based systems, according to Micron, adding that it is working closely with ARM partners to design LPDDR2 memory solutions into their mobile offerings.

"ARM Memory Controller and System IP have been verified alongside this latest LPDDR2 from Micron, enabling ARM partners to rapidly integrate this LPDDR2 memory into their designs," said Rob Kaye, senior fabric marketing manager, ARM.
