DDR2 Micro-DIMMs

The more functionality is going to be included into next generations of notebooks, the less space will remain for DRAM itself. Therefore notebook designers are looking for DIMMs with smaller form factor but same densities as SO-DIMMs, which are predominately used in notebooks. The solution is called Micro-DIMM, a memory module which requires 35% less space then the SO-DIMM at same memory density. With the Micro-DIMM, even new applications like small sized notebooks (subnotebooks) can be supported.

For ultramobile computing designs with utmost mobility and optimized thermal characteristics, Qimonda is supporting also very low power DDR2 parts at a reduced nominal operating voltage of 1.50V. These parts offer a ~25% lower power consumption compared to standard DDR2 1.8V at the same performance level. Such very low power DDR2 parts are available in all relevant speeds and form factors for mobile platforms, such as SO-DIMMs, micro-DIMMs and 1G components.
