Cypress Hosts JEDEC Meeting to Define Next-Generation Advanced Memory Buffers for Registered DIMMs.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 2003 DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module Task Group Meeting to be Held at Cypress Headquarters in San Jose on Monday, July 14, 2003 from Noon until 6:00 p.m. and Tuesday, July 15, 2003 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY), a world leader in timing technology solutions, today announced that it is hosting the JEDEC The division of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) that deals with semiconductor standards (officially, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association of EIA). JEDEC was formed in 1958 when the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) split into two Joint Electron Device Solid State Technology Association JC-16, -40, -42 Interim Meeting, July 14 and 15, 2003. The meeting -- open to JEDEC member companies -- will run from noon until 6:00 p.m. on Monday and from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Chaired by IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , the registered dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) task group is comprised of the JC-16, -40 and -42 standards committees. The task group will be working to define next-generation advanced memory buffers to enhance the capabilities of dual data rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) chipsets in registered DIMM applications. The goal of these advanced memory buffers will be to solve the peak bandwidth limitations beyond two DIMMs per channel in the current DDR II architecture and to allow for the larger memory capacity required by mid-range and high-end computer platforms. "As a long-standing member of JEDEC, Cypress is honored to host the kick-off meeting for this critical task group," said Rob Raghavan, senior product marketing manager for Cypress's Timing Technology Division. "As an active participant in this task group, Cypress hopes to work with our esteemed colleagues and customers to resolve the DDR II bandwidth bottleneck issue and to help drive next-generation registered buffered DIMMs." The JEDEC meeting will be held in the auditorium of Building 6 on the Cypress campus, 198 Champion Court, San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. 95134. Meeting registration begins at noon. For directions to Cypress headquarters, please visit http://www.cypress.com/aboutus/directions.cfm.
