A DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) is a popular type of memory module used in computers. It is a printed circuit board with one or both sides (front and back) holding DRAM chips and pins . [ 1 ] The vast majority of DIMMs are manufactured in compliance with JEDEC memory standards , although there are proprietary DIMMs.
Registered (Buffered) DIMM (R-DIMM or RDIMM) modules insert a buffer between the pins of the command and address buses on the DIMM and the memory chips. A high-capacity DIMM might have numerous memory chips, each of which must receive the memory address, and their combined input capacitance limits the speed at which the memory bus can operate.
To increase memory capacity and bandwidth, chips are combined on a module. For instance, the 64-bit data bus for DIMM requires eight 8-bit chips, addressed in parallel. Multiple chips with common address lines are called a memory rank. The term was introduced to avoid confusion with chip internal rows and banks. A memory module may bear more ...
Two types of DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules): a 168-pin SDRAM module (top) and a 184-pin DDR SDRAM module (bottom). Memory modules of SK Hynix. In computing, a memory module or RAM stick is a printed circuit board on which memory integrated circuits are mounted.
DDR5 octuples the maximum DIMM capacity from 64 GB to 512 GB. [8] [3] DDR5 also has higher frequencies than DDR4, up to 8GT/s which translates into 64 GB/s (8 gigatransfers/second × 64-bits/module / 8 bits/byte = 64 GB/s) of bandwidth per DIMM. Rambus announced a working DDR5 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) in September 2017.
A Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) is a type of memory module used in computer systems. It is designed to improve memory performance and capacity by allowing multiple memory modules to be each connected to the memory controller using a serial interface, rather than a parallel one.
