Applications

Key applications and application areas for Samsung's Consumer DRAM memory include :

  • Consumer applications :
    These applications cover appliances, devices, and peripherals such as hard disk drives, digital TVs, DVD players/recorders, set-top boxes, digital cameras, printers and office networking equipments, and automotive systems (such as GPS based car navigation systems). These applications are characterized primarily by their larger operational tolerances (such as wider operating temperatures) and lack of necessity for power management features (such as low power and sleep modes).
  • Industrial applications :
    Industrial applications for DRAM memory include sectors where long-term reliability and dependability of the application is critical. Additionally, the application must perform over extended temperature ranges (typically -40°C ~ 95°C) with the same dependability in rugged weather, such as extremely dry or moist climates, as it does at room temperature.

Future trends for Samsung Consumer DRAM indicate that with rapid advancements in memory technologies, memory across all segments will continue to become denser, faster, and have lower power requirements, ultimately improving the performance of the devices that they are deployed in.

As one of the leaders in the development of semiconductor memory, Samsung continues to remain at the forefront of this exciting journey.
