Direct Rambus DRAM SO-RIMMTM Module
256M-BYTE (128M-WORD x 18-BIT)
Description
The Direct Rambus SO-RIMM module is a general-purpose high-performance memory module subsystem suitable
for use in a broad range of applications including computer memory, mobile personal computers, networking
systems, and other applications where high bandwidth and low latency are required.
MC-4R256FKE8S modules consists of eight 288M Direct Rambus DRAM (Direct RDRAM) devices (µPD488588).
These are extremely high-speed CMOS DRAMs organized as 16M words by 18 bits. The use of Rambus Signaling
Level (RSL) technology permits 800MHz transfer rates while using conventional system and board design
technologies.
Direct RDRAM devices are capable of sustained data transfers at 1.25 ns per two bytes (10 ns per 16 bytes).
The architecture of the Direct RDRAM enables the highest sustained bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous,
randomly addressed memory transactions. The separate control and data buses with independent row and column
control yield high bus efficiency. The Direct RDRAM's multi-bank architecture supports up to four simultaneous
transactions per device.
Features
• 160 edge connector pads with 0.65mm pad spacing
• 256 MB Direct RDRAM storage
• Each RDRAM has 32 banks, for 256 banks total on module
• Gold plated contacts
• RDRAMs use Chip Scale Package (CSP)
• Serial Presence Detect support
• Operates from a 2.5 V supply
• Powerdown self refresh modes
• Separate Row and Column buses for higher efficiency

Notes 1. TPD or Average clock delay is defined as the average delay from finger to finger of all RSL clock nets (CTM,
CTMN, CFM, and CFMN).
2. If the SO-RIMM module meets the following specification, then it is compliant to the specification.
If the SO-RIMM module does not meet these specifications, then the specification can be adjusted by the
“Adjusted ∆TPD Specification” table.

Notes 1. Actual power will depend on individual RDRAM component specifications, memory controller and usage
patterns. Power does not include Refresh Current.
2. I/O current is a function of the % of 1’s, to add I/O power for 50 % 1’s for a x16 need to add 257 mA or 290
mA for x18 ECC module for the following : VDD = 2.5 V, VTERM = 1.8 V, VREF = 1.4 V and VDIL = VREF − 0.5 V.

CAUTION FOR HANDLING MEMORY MODULES
When handling or inserting memory modules, be sure not to touch any components on the modules, such as
the memory ICs, chip capacitors and chip resistors. It is necessary to avoid undue mechanical stress on
these components to prevent damaging them.
In particular, do not push module cover or drop the modules in order to protect from mechanical defects,
which would be electrical defects.
When re-packing memory modules, be sure the modules are not touching each other.
Modules in contact with other modules may cause excessive mechanical stress, which may damage the
modules.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1
PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR MOS DEVICES
Exposing the MOS devices to a strong electric field can cause destruction of the gate
oxide and ultimately degrade the MOS devices operation. Steps must be taken to stop
generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it, when once
it has occurred. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier
should be used. It is recommended to avoid using insulators that easily build static
electricity. MOS devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container,
static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including
work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. MOS devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions
need to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor MOS devices on it.
2
HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS DEVICES
No connection for CMOS devices input pins can be a cause of malfunction. If no
connection is provided to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be
generated due to noise, etc., hence causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave
differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels of CMOS devices must be fixed
high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused pin should be connected
to VDD or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of being an output
pin. The unused pins must be handled in accordance with the related specifications.
3
STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS devices. Production process
of MOS does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the
power source is turned ON, the MOS devices with reset function have not yet been
initialized. Hence, power-on does not guarantee output pin levels, I/O settings or
contents of registers. MOS devices are not initialized until the reset signal is received.
Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for MOS devices having
reset function.
