Jedec publishes DDR3L standard
Power consumption lower
The Jedec Solid State Technology Association has released a new standard for DDR3L. The standard is a follow up to the JESD79-3 DDR3 Memory Device Standard and will enable a significant reduction in power consumption for a broad range of products that use memory.
Dubbed DDR3L for DDR3 Low Voltage, devices using to the new standard will operate from a single 1.35V power supply voltage compared to 1.5V in existing devices. DDR3L memory devices will be functionally compatible to DDR3 memory devices, but not all devices will be interoperable at both voltage ranges. The power difference should be 15 per cent or more as compared to DDR3 and a 40 per cent improvement on DDR2.
This significant reduction in power consumption, especially in memory-intensive systems, will have dramatic benefits in areas such as power supply demand, system cooling requirements and potential packaging density, the association claims.
The standard is already being used by some manufacturers; 1.35V devices are foretasted to be widely available from suppliers, who have been working within Jedec to ensure DDR3L compatible devices may be procured from multiple sources. Apparently it is being backed by Samsung.
