First Industrial Temperature Grade DDR5, DDR4 Registered Clock Drivers

Renesas Electronics Corporation introduced the industry’s first industrial temperature DDR5 (5RCD0148H) and DDR4 (4RCD0232K) registered clock drivers (RCDs). The new devices are targeted at demanding applications such as edge computing, automotive vehicles, industry 4.0, and 5G applications.

The new industrial temp RCDs support temperatures as low as -40⁰C and as high as 105⁰C, compared to commercial temperature devices that usually operate from 0⁰C to 70⁰C. Renesas’ industrial temperature RCDs support speeds up to 5200 MT/s for DDR5 and up to 3200 MT/s for DDR4. The devices deliver 2X channel speed improvement, low latency and excellent power management, enabling DDR5 industrial temp dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) and memory-down applications, while providing wide temperature range reliability for existing DDR4 applications.

Renesas’ industrial temperature memory interface components can be paired with Renesas’ complementary timing, power and 5G RF and baseband offerings to create comprehensive solutions for a variety wireless access and edge computing applications. Renesas’ Winning Combinations are vetted solutions engineered to help customers accelerate designs and get to market faster. Renesas offers more than 250 Winning Combinations that can be found here.
