Leading memory of the next generation who actualizes high-speed stability operation low by electric power consumption
"DDR2" memory module development was completed, operation was verified.

2004 February 20th

Corporation buffalo (head office: Nagoya city, president: Maki Makoto), in other companies it actualized beginning and high-speed stability operation low by electric power consumption and it started doing the development of the memory "DDR2" which becomes the main force of the next generation, but this each time it completes the development "of DDR2" memory module, it reports that the operation in the motherboard was verified.


(As for product photographthis)
DDR2 Unbuffered DIMM DDR2 Registered DIMM DDR2 SO-DIMM
DDR2 Unbuffered DIMM DDR2 Registered DIMM DDR2 SO-DIMM


Main memory "DDR2" of the next generation who actualizes high-speed stability operation low by electric power consumption.
We completed beginning development in other companies with the high memory module development technology where the buffalo it has.


The corporation buffalo "was easy to use, Internet, more," in concept, from the peripheral device of personal computer such as memory and storage product, to the network equipment of the wireless LAN and the like doing the development and sale of the wide product started, but history of especially memory development is old, sells the Japanese first EMS board in 1988, establishes position, as a memory vendor after that JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Egineering Counsil) participates in Memory Module Committee from 1996. DDR of part (Double Data Rate) regarding the memory module of SDRAM, it contributes to also standard decision e.g., the design baseplate of our company engineer is adopted for standard. Until presently it possesses the technology of the domestic top with favor as a memory module vendor, we have reached.

Well, appearance of the next generation platform has approached immediately in the world of the personal computer,, but leading memory of the next generation where the memory "DDR2" which is adopted for that platform loads new memory architecture, actualizes high-speed stability operation low by electric power consumption. Already, certification job of the product (Bali day Shaun) it is started in Intel Corporation, generality sale of the product waits.

"DDR2" while "the DDR1" empty of DDR400 and the like which is present leading memory, modification and data pre- fetch of the DRAM package achieving acceleration by the fact that from 2 bits it expands in 4 bits, improves data transfer efficiency with "Posted CAS" operation, seamless delay is little actualizing processing. Furthermore, we make further stability operation possible "ODT (On-Die Termination)" with loading. In addition, from the fact that drive voltage is low in comparison with "DDR1", DDR1 ratio approximately 40% achieving electric power consumption low at the time of operation. Because of this we achieve also the reduction of the calorific value, we are observed high-speed stability operation and electric power consumption is actualized low simultaneously as the next generation memory module which has the efficiency which is superior.

As for the corporation buffalo, the only, as for decision of this "DDR2" standard of course, it participates in also the design from first stage via JEDEC, as a domestic memory module principal occupation manufacturer. Our company designed especially DDR2 SO-DMM Gerber. In inside our company, memory module of 3 types which already adopt DDR2 standard (Unbuffered DIMM, Registered DIMM and SO-DIMM) baseplate development in other companies completion of beginning. While presently, executing the mutual verification of each motherboard manufacturer, Bali day of Intel Corporation Shaun it is in the midst of applying. In the future, we have become the schedule which starts for general shipment from 2004 second quarter.

The corporation buffalo starts endeavoring, as even from now on the product is developed with certain technology of worldwide level, while assuring the further improvement of that technology, in order for us to deliver the product which is superior promptly in the customer. In the future please expect to the buffalo.
