Samsung and Toshiba to Manufacture Network Specific DRAM for High-Speed Network Applications.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers TOKYO & SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2002 Toshiba Corporation (company) Toshiba Corporation - A Japanese technology manufacturer with 364 subsidiaries worldwide. Toshiba makes and sells electronics for home, office, industry and health care including information and communication systems, electronic components, heavy electrical apparatus, and Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company. Co., Ltd. today announced their agreement to manufacture network specific DRAM, a common interface DRAM specification for high-speed network applications. The two companies will separately manufacture and market network specific DRAM based on this specification. Toshiba has already commercialized network specific DRAM based on the 256Mb 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 FCRAM FCRAM Fast Cycle Random Access Memory FCRAM Fast Cycle Ram (TM) that the company jointly developed with Fujitsu for high-speed network applications. Samples of Samsung's 256Mb Network-DRAM which is fully compatible with FCRAM(TM) are available and full extensive cross-licensing agreement guaranteeing compatibility full production is scheduled for 3Q 2002. The availability of these high-speed networking memory devices from major suppliers is expected to secure market leadership and assure customers a stable supply. Historically, high-density memory systems have consisted of Single-Data-Rate Synchronous DRAM Synchronous DRAM - Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. ) or Double-Data-Rate SDRAM. However, the rapid evolution of network environments accompanying the expansion of the Internet and LANs is driving demand for network specific memory ICs. These combine the high speed of SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory with the high density of DRAM to dramatically increase data handling capability. Samsung and Toshiba have been developing network specific DRAM in response to this demand. Network specific DRAM devices have random read-write cycle and latency times that are 50 percent faster than the next generation DDR333. These devices also offer the fastest high-speed data transfer rate among next-generation DRAM and integrate a late-write function for efficient data-bus utilization. Samsung and Toshiba will position the network specific DRAM devices for buffer and look-up table look-up table n (COMPUT) → tabla de consulta look-up table n (Comput) → table f à consulter look-up table n ( use in network applications and as cache and main memory for high-end computers.
