SLDRAM (Synchronous Link DRAM)
Manufacturer:	SyncLink	Speed:
Year Introduced:	1996	Frequency:	400MHz
Burst Timing:		Pins:	64
Voltage:	2.5v	Bandwidth:	800GBps
The third powerful next generation memory is known as SLDRAM. It utilizes multiplexing technology to achieve higher bandwidth through each of the pins. An enhanced version of the SDRAM Memory technology that uses a multiplexed bus to transfer data to and from the chips rather than fixed pin settings. SLDRAM is expected to support extremely fast transfer rates from 1.6 GBps up into the 3 GBps range. This is a protocol-based Memory technology like Rambus® DRAM, but is not a proprietary technology.      Synchronous Link DRAM, SLDRAM - The "SL" originally stood for SyncLink®, which was dropped because it was a proprietary trade name of a company. In 1999, the SLDRAM consortium turned into AMI2 (Advanced Memory International, Inc.)to support the DDR SDRAM market.      Another remarkable and powerful next generation DRAM is SLDRAM, which is developed as part of IEEE working group effort called the Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI). It provides a scalable architecture that supports a small or large number of DRAMs and does not dictate internal DRAM structure rather it concentrates on the processor/memory interface.
