Welcome to the second issue of the Virtium Technology e-letter. Our goal is to bring you vital ideas and information that you can use. We welcome your ideas, too. Please send any feedback or suggestions to us at newsletter@virtium.com   In This Issue: July 2007 1. www.RAMpedia.com 2. IBIS Simulation  3. Memory Industry News Spotlight DDR2 SO-DIMMs with heat-spreaders Get a complimentary Dilbert 2008 calendar by visiting www.RAMpedia.com   RAMpedia is a DRAM memory encyclopedia and memory toolbox that saves you time by providing technical information on motherboards, chipsets, memory modules and DRAM components. It is also an informational website and technical engineering database to enhance your knowledge of DRAM memory technology and to stay informed with current memory industry news. Take the Guesswork out of Signal Integrity and Timing Margin Analysis of DRAM Memory Sub-systems IBIS memory simulations and eye-diagram analysis has become an important tool for memory-system design now that setup/hold times for DDR2-800/1066 and DDR3 leave little room for SI error. Simulation will validate memory sub-system design prior to implementing in hardware and accelerate the design cycle by getting new technology to market faster and with less design changes to lower overall development cost. We invite you to learn more about this important subject, and get a Dilbert 2008 calendar. Read More...
