DDR Memory Test Challenges from DDR3 to DDR5

DDR Memory Test Challenges from DDR3 to DDR5

White Papers

Cloud, networking, enterprise, high-performance computing, big data, and artificial intelligence are propelling the development of double data rate (DDR) memory chip technology. Demand for lower power requirements, higher density for more memory storage, and faster transfer speeds are constant. Servers drive the demand for next-generation DDR. Consumers benefit when existing and legacy generations economize and become affordable. As dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) decreases in price, it makes its way into our PCs and laptops.

To accommodate these requirements, standardization body JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) released the DDR5 synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) standard in July 2020. Starting in mid-2021, JEDEC expects to start seeing DDR5 devices emerge as manufacturers confirm hardware.
