DDR2 Advanced Memory Buffers (AMB)

Fully compliant with the JEDEC advanced memory buffer (AMB) specifications, the IDT AMB is an essential building block for high-bandwidth applications, such as servers, workstations and communications equipment, which require increased performance and large memory capacities. The FB-DIMM channel architecture offers high-speed, serial, point-to-point connection between the memory controller and modules, allowing designers to use a large number of DIMMs within a single system without an adverse impact on speed.

IDT AMBs also offer:

• Ultra-low power AMB solutions
• Years of proven in-system reliability in major platforms
• Integrated heat spreader option with the latest AMB+ device
• Accurate built-in temperature sensor for optimal performance delivery
• Quad rank and DDR2 533/667/800 operation
• Unique DDR2 architecture capable of driving up to 32 FB-DIMM memory slots
• Buffering of data internally on the chip and receiving or forwarding it to the next DIMM or memory controller
