Micron® RLDRAM® II memory is a high-performance architecture for L3 cache and networking applications, high-end commercial graphics, and any other system that requires high, sustainable bandwidth in back-to-back READ/WRITE operations. The key to RLDRAM II device performance is its innovative circuit design, which minimizes the time between the beginning of the access cycle and the availability of the first data. Our offering includes multiple configurations to provide system design flexibility. With high density (576Mb), high bandwidth (3.6 GB/s and 4.8 GB/s), and performance competitive with QDR SRAM at a fraction of the cost, RLDRAM memory is the ideal solution for networking and communication applications that demand ultra-quick response times and fast random access.

Transitioning your System from FCRAM® to RLDRAM® Memory
Minimized latency and reduced row cycle times make RLDRAM memory an ideal replacement for FCRAM designs. In this RLDRAM memory presentation, Micron senior applications engineer Todd Dinkelman presents an overview of FCRAM, RLDRAM, and RLDRAM II memory features, highlighting differences that designers must be aware of when shifting their designs from FCRAM. Watch the "Transitioning to RLDRAM Memory" presentation or download a PDF of the slides.
Exploring the RLDRAM II Feature Set
With network line rates steadily increasing, memory density and performance are becoming extremely important in enabling quick and efficient network packet processing. RLDRAM II addresses these higher-performance requirements by providing the critical features networking and cache applications need.
