Silicon Image joined forces with ARM, Hynix Semiconductor, Inc., LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB and STMicroelectronics to create a working group to advance a new memory interface architecture, Serial Port Memory Technology or SPMT, initially targeted for Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chips, that employs a serial interface architecture rather than a parallel interface architecture as commonly found in current memory offerings. This new architecture will enable greater bandwidth flexibility, significantly reduced pin count, lower power demand and savings on overall system cost. |
