To be able to:◦ Understand how the memory works;◦ Identify the module components, chip packaging;
etc.;◦ Know the different types of memory module.

Also known as volatile memory. Used by the system to store data in the
form of files for processing by a computer's central processing unit (CPU).
Expressed in Megabytes(MB)/ Gigabytes(GB)
◦ DMA – Direct Memory Access

PCB (Printed Circuit Board)◦ The green board that holds the memory chips is made
up of several layers. Each layer contains traces and circuitry to control the movement of data.
Traces (Internal Trace Layer)◦ The width and curvature as well as the distance
between affect both the speed and reliability.
Contact Fingers◦ The contact fingers (connections or leads) are used to
plug the memory chips into the module. ◦ Contacts can either be tin or gold.

This is the material coating around the actualsilicon.
DIP (Dual In-Line Package)
◦ This type of packaging was used when memory was installed directly on the computer's system board.
◦ It installed into holes extending into the surface of the PCB and could either be soldered or inserted into sockets.

SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead)◦ used for surface mount components where they
mounted directly onto the surface of the PCB.
TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package)◦ This is also a surface mount design and was first used to
make thin credit card modules for notebook computers.
CSP (Chip Scale Package)◦ CSP doesn't use pins to connect to the board. It uses
electrical connections to the board on the underside of the package.
◦ RDRAM chips utilize this type of packaging.

For higher capacity modules, it is necessary to stack chips on top of one another.
Stacking can be internally or externally.

DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory)◦ One of the most common types of computer
memory (RAM). ◦ It can only hold data for a short period of time and
must be refreshed periodically. ◦ Measured by storage capability and access time.
Rated in Megabytes Access time is rated in nanoseconds Required two CPU wait state for each execution Can only execute one at a time

It synchronizes itself with the timing of the CPU.
Faster and more expensive than DRAM. It comes in speeds of 66, 100, 133, 200, and
266MHz.
![Page 10: Memory module](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061506/555ece76d8b42af67f8b5622/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Retains memory (while power is on) and does not require refreshing.
Allows transactions on both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle.
It has a bus clock speed of 100MHz and will yield an effective data transfer rate of 200MHz.
![Page 11: Memory module](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061506/555ece76d8b42af67f8b5622/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
At one time, this was the most common and was often just referred to as DRAM.
It offered faster access to data located within the same row.
Newer than DRAM and requires only one CPU wait state.
![Page 12: Memory module](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061506/555ece76d8b42af67f8b5622/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A step up from the EDO chips. It requires zero wait states.
Provides a transfer rate up to 1.6GBs yielding a 800MHz speed over a narrow 16 bit bus.

Ensuring the memory is working correctly.
Parity - Can detect errors in computer but can’t be corrected.
ECC (Error Correction Code)◦ can detect and correct single-bit errors. ◦ It is used in high-end PC's and servers.
Non-Parity

DDR SDRAM is the newest of the memory types under development that will be available in the 184 Pin DIMM form factor.
The principle difference between conventional SDRAM and DDR SDRAM is its ability to read/write data on both edges of a clock, therefore resulting in faster data transfer.
The DDR SDRAM chips used the TSOP package.
