Elpida Memory has begun sample shipments of its new 2-gigabit (2Gb) DDR3 SDRAM geared for use in consumer electrical appliances, according to the company, claiming it is the industry's smallest 2Gb DDR3 that supports an x16-bit I/O interface.

Elpida said its new 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM meets the high-speed DDR3-1600 (1600Mbps) standard, which is likely to become the mainstream memory speed standard in 2011. It uses energy-efficient 1.35V for the DDR3L-1333 memory speed, and is compliant with DDR3-Plus (seamless BL4 access) for upgrading the performance of consumer electrical appliances.

Compared with Elpida's existing x16-bit I/O products for use in consumer electrical appliances, the new SDRAM uses 30% less current and operates at a low voltage of 1.35V, the company said.

The new 2Gb x16-bit I/O DDR3 SDRAM is well suited for applications such as digital TVs, Blu-ray Disc (BD) players, BD recorders, set-top boxes (STBs), and also tablet PCs, Elpida indicated. Mass production is expected to get underway in the first quarter of 2011.
