About Embedded DRAM

"Embedded DRAM"

          Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has been offered as a commodity product by dozens of companies for more than 30 years in no less than seven different generations of MOSFET technology. Presently, DRAM products appear in almost every electronic function that -is governed by the theory of Boolean logic. Plans to integrate the DRAM storage medium with various digital functions have been contemplated for a long time. These attempts have been successful to a large extent. Many companies have already entered in to this field of embedded technology. With memory on the chip, applications can take advantage of the high bandwidth naturally offered by a wide-I/O DRAM and achieve data rates greater than those previously limited by pin count and off-chip pin rates. The constructional features, advantages, disadvantages, applications etc are reviewed in this report. The use of embedded DRAM technology has become widespread, especially in higher-end system designs, because of its superior performance, silicon area savings, and low power compared to discrete memory solutions.
