Introduction to DDR SDRAM

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but

doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as op-

posed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules

rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory band-

width makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and

servers.
