  • Abstract
    Embedded DRAM is well suited for integrated graphics applications that require extremely high bandwidth and large amounts of memory. High per-pin data rate, very wide I/O, and concurrent read/write together provide a high total data rate. The highest previous total data rate for a 16Mb macro reported at this conference is 92GB/s. This work demonstrates a 16Mb DRAM macro test chip with data rates of 2.66Gb/s/pin and 170GB/s total.
