XDR™2 Memory Architecture

The XDR™2 memory architecture is the world's fastest memory system solution capable of providing twice the peak bandwidth per device when compared to a GDDR5-based system. Further, the XDR2 memory architecture delivers this performance at 30% lower power than GDDR5 at equivalent bandwidth.

Designed for scalability, power efficiency and manufacturability, the XDR2 architecture is a complete memory solution ideally suited for high-performance gaming, graphics and multi-core compute applications.

Initial systems can achieve memory bandwidths of over 500GB/s into an SoC. Each XDR DRAM can deliver up to 38.4GB/s of peak bandwidth from a single, 4-byte-wide, 9.6Gbps XDR2 DRAM device, and the XDR2 architecture supports a roadmap to device bandwidths of over 50GB/s.

Capable of data rates of 6.4 to 12.8Gbps, the XDR2 architecture is the latest generation in the award-winning family of XDR products. With backwards compatibility to XDR DRAM, the XDR2 architecture is part of a continuously compatible roadmap, offering a path for both performance upgrades and system cost reductions.

The XDR2 memory architecture is the first to incorporate innovations from Rambus' Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative along with other key Rambus innovations including :

• 16X Data Rate enables high data rates (up to 12.8Gbps) at lower system clock and on-chip bus interface speeds.
• Fully Differential Memory Architecture (FDMA) improves signal integrity, reduces power and enables the highest memory performance available.
• Enhanced FlexPhase™ enables high data rates, simplifies layout and eliminates trace length matching.
• FlexLink™ C/A reduces system costs and controller pin-count while providing scalable capacity and flexible access granularity.
• Micro-threading increases transfer efficiency on micro-threaded workloads while reducing power consumption.

XDR™2 DRAM

Rambus' XDR™2 DRAM is a high-performance, power-efficient memory, optimized for high-bandwidth applications such as gaming, graphics and multi-core computing. Initial devices are capable of 9.6Gbps data rates providing up to 38.4GB/s of bandwidth from a single 4-byte-wide device. The roadmap for XDR2 extends to 12.8Gbps data rates providing 51.2GB/s of bandwidth per device.

The XDR2 DRAM uses a traditional 8-bank CMOS DRAM core, with standard and micro-threaded operating modes. XDR DRAM support device densities from 512Mbit to 4Gbit with initial devices targeting 1 Gbit density. In addition to using Rambus micro-threading, XDR2 DRAM also incorporates other Rambus innovations such as Flexlink™C/A: the industry's first full-speed, scalable point-to-point command/address channel. Flexlink C/A, combined with programmable DRAM width and Enhanced Dynamic Point-to-Point (DPP), allows for highly scalable memory system capacity and access granularity, making XDR2 the ideal solution for a wide range of applications.

Micro-threading is a new operating mode available in XDR2 DRAM which effectively doubles the number of individually addressable, simultaneously accessible banks. A standard 8-bank core can thus perform effectively as a 16-bank memory device, reducing column access granularity and increasing usable bandwidth to the controller.

XDR2 in micro-threaded mode, is optimized to efficiently access memory to meet the demands of graphics and multi-core computing systems. By allowing different quads of the DRAM to be independently selected through respective Flexlink C/A channels, the XDR2 DRAM appears logically as four independent DRAM devices. Each access thread transmits and receives data using a dedicated byte lane, providing the needed data to sustain advanced graphics and compute applications. Furthermore, XDR2 DRAM achieves high data rates with a low access granularity of 32Bytes using a conventional low-cost DRAM core.

XIO2 Controller IO Cell

The XIO2 cell is a high-performance, power-efficient controller for XDR™2 DRAM devices. Using 16X Data Rate signaling technology, initial controller designs are capable of speeds of 9.6Gbps, with scalability up to 12.8Gbps. Each memory channel of the XIO2 controller cell can support a sustained bandwidth of up to 51.2GB/s per XDR2 DRAM device.

The XIO2 controller can be configured for multiple memory channels, each supporting from one to four XDR2 devices. This highly scalable architecture provides the necessary bandwidth and capacity for the demanding requirements of gaming, graphics and multi-core computing systems.

Each macro for the XIO2 controller IO cell is composed of 4 differential request (RQ) links, a control block (CTL) and a variable number of 8-bit data blocks (DQ). The RQ links provide address and control information to the memory subsystem. The CTL block performs register access, initialization, maintenance and testability functions. Each DQ is capable of transmitting and receiving data at up to 12.8Gbps.

Enhanced FlexPhase™ circuits allow arbitrary per-pin transmit and receive data phases on the DQ links and arbitrary per-pin transmit phases on the RQ links, eliminating the need for trace length matching of these high-speed signals. Employing the industry's first Fully Differential Memory Architecture (FDMA), the XIO2 cell operates the RQ and DQ links at full speed using ultra-low voltage Differential Rambus Signaling Level (DRSL). In combination, these Rambus innovations deliver the benefits of both improved signal integrity and lower power.

XDR™2 Innovations

The Rambus XDR™2 memory architecture is the first to incorporate innovations from Rambus' Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative and builds on enhanced versions of key technologies already implemented in the award-winning XDR architecture. New technologies implemented for the first time in XDR2 memory include 16X Data Rate, Fully Differential Memory Architecture (FDMA), Enhanced FlexPhase™, Flexlink™ C/A, and Micro-threading.

• 16X Data Rate is a technology that transfers 16 bits of data per clock cycle, 8 times as many data bits as DDR (Double Data Rate) techniques used in many DRAMs today and twice the bit transfer rate of XDR memory. This technology allows the XDR2 memory system to run at data rates as high as 12.8Gbps at relatively low and economical system clock speeds.


• Fully Differential Memory Architecture (FDMA) is the industry’s first implementation of a memory architecture that incorporates differential signaling on all the key signal connections between the memory controller and the XDR2 DRAM. FDMA enables higher data rates, lower power, and improved signal integrity.


• Enhanced FlexPhase™ technology enables flexible phase relationships on data and command/address signals, allowing precise on-chip alignment of data with clock. Enhanced FlexPhase improves the sensitivity and capability of FlexPhase for very high performance memory systems operating at data rates of over 6.4Gbps.


• Flexlink™ C/A is the industry's first full-speed, scalable, point-to-point command/address channel technology. Each FlexLink C/A link provides the command and address information to a DRAM using as few as a single, differential high-speed communications channel. This reduces pin count and area while enabling scalable capacity and flexible access granularity.


• Micro-threading is a technology that improves access efficiency for advanced applications. Micro-threading increases the useable bandwidth by logically partitioning a traditional 8-bank DRAM core into 16 independently addressable banks. Independent access to what are effectively 16 banks reduces both row and column access granularity and results in a significant performance increase for graphics and multi-core computing workloads.

XDR™2 Memory vs. GDDR5

THE FUTURE OF MEMORY

XDR™2 memory is the latest generation of the award-winning XDR memory architecture. Capable of unprecedented data rates of up to 12.8Gbps, XDR2 is the world's fastest memory solution. It delivers twice the peak bandwidth per device when compared to GDDR5 DRAM.

FAST AND SMART The XDR2 memory solution provides incredible bandwidth performance and does so at far lower power than GDDR5 memory. In fact, XDR2 consumes 30% less power than GDDR5 at equal bandwidth performance. Given equal power budget, XDR2 memory provides 50% more bandwidth than GDDR5. And at full speed, XDR2 DRAM deliver twice the bandwidth of GDDR5 devices.

BORN OF THE TERABYTE BANDWIDTH INITIATIVE XDR2 memory achieves this power and performance leadership through key Rambus innovations, many of which were developed through Rambus' Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative. The first to employ a Fully Differential Memory Architecture (FDMA), XDR2 memory has improved signal integrity and lower voltage swing versus single-ended signaling architectures such as GDDR5. Other innovations include Flexlink™ C/A, for more capacity scalability and flexible access granularity, and 16X Data Rate which allows the XDR2 memory to run at twice the data rate of GDDR5 with a clock running at about half the speed of the GDDR5 clock.

ROCK SOLID AND PIN EFFICIENT The Fully Differential Memory Architecture of XDR2 memory enables rock solid signal integrity at blindingly fast speeds. Differential signaling in combination with pin-efficient Flexlink C/A technology, enables XDR2 memory to deliver a breakthrough level of performance with fewer controller and DRAM pins than single-ended GDDR5 memory. Any way you look at it, speed, power, bandwidth, robustness or pin-efficiency, XDR2 memory is the best way to supercharge your next-generation graphics, gaming or multi-core computing design.

XIO Controller IO Cell

The XIO cell is the high-performance, low-latency controller interface to XDR™ DRAM memory devices. Using Octal Data Rate (ODR) signaling at speeds of up to 7.2Gbps, the XIO IO cell can support bandwidths of up to 28.8GB/s from a single XDR DRAM device. The XIO can be configured to support multiple XDR devices thus providing the necessary memory bandwidth for demanding graphics, computing and consumer electronics applications. It can be used in tandem with the XMC memory controller or integrated with the customer’s logical controller design.

The XIO macro cell is composed of one or two 12-bit request bus blocks (RQ), one control block (CTL), and a variable number of 8-bit or 9-bit (for ECC support) data blocks (DQs). The RQ block provides address and control information to the memory subsystem. The CTL block performs register access, initialization, maintenance and testability functions. Each DQ block is capable of transmitting and receiving data at up to 7.2Gbps data rates. FlexPhase™ circuits allow arbitrary per-pin DQ transmit and receive data phases eliminating the need for system trace length matching. The RQ block generates single-ended signals, while the DQ blocks transmit and receive ultra low-voltage Differential Rambus Signaling Level (DRSL) signals.

Guaranteed to provide clocks that meet specifications for both the XIO Cell and the XDR DRAM device, the XCG provides four programmable differential outputs using a reference input clock of 100MHz or 133MHz. The XCG also supports spread spectrum modulation, reducing the EMI generated from the clock distribution network.

XDR™ Innovations

The Rambus XDR™ memory interface architecture consists of four building block technologies: Differential Rambus Signaling Level (DRSL), Octal Data Rate (ODR), FlexPhase™ de-skewing circuitry, and Dynamic Point-to-Point (DPP) technology.

• DRSL (Differential Rambus Signaling Level) is a low-voltage, low-power, differential signaling standard that enables the scalable multi-GHz, bi-directional, and point-to-point data busses that connect the XIO cell to XDR DRAM devices. XDR memory solutions also use the Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) standard developed originally for the RDRAM® memory interface, enabling up to 36 devices connected to the source-synchronous, bussed address and command signals.
• ODR (Octal Data Rate) is a technology that transfers eight bits of data on each clock cycle, four times as many as today's state-of-the-art memory technologies that use DDR (Double Data Rate). XDR data rates are scalable to 7.2Gbps.
• FlexPhase deskew circuits eliminate any systematic timing offsets between the bits of an XDR memory interface data bus. With a resolution of 2.5ps (at 3.2Gbps) and a maximum range of over 10 ns, the FlexPhase technology eliminates the need to match trace lengths on the board and package. FlexPhase also dynamically calibrates out on-chip clock skew, driver/receiver mismatch, and clock standing wave effects allowing lower system cost designs.
• Dynamic Point-to-Point (DPP) technology maintains the signal integrity benefits of point-to-point signaling on the data bus while providing the flexibility of capacity expansions with module upgrades. Memory modules can be dynamically reconfigured to support diferrent data bus widths, allowing a memory controller with a fixed data bus width to connect to a variable number of modules.

XDR™ Applications

The Rambus XDR™ memory interface solution satisfies the needs of many demanding applications such as game consoles, graphics, consumer electronics, multi-core computing, and servers. With the flexibility to provide more bandwidth at better power efficiency per device than competing technologies, XDR interfaces can also reduce overall systems costs for consumer products sensitive to total component count, and still meet the bandwidth requirements for performance driven applications. XDIMM modules provide an appropriate solution for high-capacity applications as well. No other memory technology provides the flexibility that XDR offers to system and chip designers across multiple markets.

Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative

The Rambus Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative pioneers new memory signaling technologies useful for the development of a future memory architecture capable of delivering a terabyte per second of memory bandwidth (1 terabyte = 1,024 gigabytes) to a single System-on-Chip (SoC). This unparalleled memory bandwidth will enable future memory systems to benefit from an order of magnitude improvement in memory performance.

To achieve 1 TByte/s memory bandwidth, Rambus has developed fundamental innovations that include :

32X Data Rate - A new memory signaling technology which transmits 32 data bits per input clock cycle;
Fully Differential Memory Architecture (FDMA) - Providing the benefits of differential signaling on both the DQ (data) and C/A (command/address) channels;
FlexLink™ C/A - The industry's first full speed, scalable, point-to-point command/address link.

With these innovations and others developed through the Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative, Rambus will provide the foundation for a future memory architecture that offers increased performance, higher and scalable data bandwidth, area optimization, and enhanced signal integrity for gaming, graphics and multi-core computing applications of the next decade.

Background
Faster, multi-core processor-based systems require greatly increased memory performance over systems built around single-core processors. Without adequate bandwidth, memory systems will be the limiting factor in delivering the required performance desired in next-generation consumer and computing systems. As an example, graphics processors currently require as much as 128GBytes/s of memory bandwidth and are targeting 500 GBytes/s in the near future. The current generation of gaming systems uses 25-50 GBytes/s of memory bandwidth. Over the next 4-5 years, graphics and game consoles will push memory bandwidth needs towards 1 TByte/s.

Innovations
Rambus' innovative 32X Data Rate technology transmits 32 bits of data per clock cycle on each I/O. Conventional double data rate memory systems transfer two bits of data, per I/O, every clock cycle. While double data rate memory architectures can achieve a one gigabit per second transfer rate with a 500 MHz clock, 32X Data Rate enables an amazing 16Gbps signaling rate using the same 500 MHz clock.

The Rambus Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative also showcases the industry's first fully differential memory architecture (FDMA). In FDMA, both the data path and command/address channel employ differential signaling for robust communications between the memory controller and the DRAM. Rambus pioneered high speed differential memory signaling by transitioning the data signals from a single ended architecture to a differential scheme and used the signalling technique in its XDR™ DRAM design. Differential signaling inherently reduces interference noise, such as simultaneous switching output (SSO), crosstalk, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Rambus has expanded the use of differential signaling in the Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative to include not only the data signals, but also the command/address signals, resulting in improved signal integrity and enhanced performance.

The third featured innovation of the Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative is FlexLink C/A. FlexLink C/A implements the industry's first full-speed, scalable, point-to-point command/address link. Operating at 16Gbps, FlexLink C/A reduces the required number of signal pins on both the DRAM and the memory controller. In contrast with a 1Gbit DDR2 device which requires 28 wires to connect the command/address link between the memory controller and the DRAM, FlexLink C/A implements a full 16Gbps command/address link with only two connections. This serial, scalable link also provides fine access and scalable capacity through a single command/address link per DRAM. FlexLink C/A's serial connectivity also delivers reduced area, power and pin count and lowers overall system costs.

Benefits
Through 32X, FDMA, FlexLink C/A and other innovations to be developed through the Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative, Rambus provides the foundation technologies for a terabyte memory architecture. A future SoC connected to 16 DRAM devices, each operating at 16Gbps with a 4-Byte wide interface, will achieve an impressive 1 terabyte per second of memory bandwidth. Through the Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative and the products that follow, Rambus enables its customers to develop a new generation of consumer and computing products that enrich the lives of consumers worldwide.
