M88MR5RCD01 (Gen1 DDR5 MRCD)

Product Description

The M88MR5RCD01 is a first-generation DDR5 Multiplexed Rank Registering Clock Driver (MRCD) chip that supports data rates of up to 8800MT/s. This chip buffers and re-drives the address, command, clock, and control signals from the memory controller. Compared to traditional DDR5 RCD chips, the MRCD can generate four independent chip-select signals at standard rates, enabling more flexible and efficient memory management operations. Working in conjunction with Multiplexed Rank Data Buffer (MDB) chips, the MRCD chip is applied in next-generation DDR5 MRDIMM / MCRDIMM memory modules, effectively doubling memory system bandwidth to meet the urgent demand for memory throughput in high-performance computing scenarios, such as AI training, inference, and large-scale data analysis.

Feature

  • Speed up to 8800MT/s
  • Two sub-channels, each divided into two pseudo-channels to increase the total bandwidth of the host system
  • Two pseudo-channels splitting the incoming CA inputs and generating separate CA outputs
  • Integrated PLL clock driver distributing one differential clock pair to five differential pairs per channel
  • Parity checking across CA and DPAR inputs separately on two sub-channels
  • Integrated BCOM bus to control the multiplexed data buffers (MDB)
  • Output characteristics configurable through control word registers
  • Sideband bus interface supporting I²C and I3C Basic modes
  • CA, CS, DFE and BCOM training modes support
  • Multiple power-saving modes
  • 1.1V VDD and 1.0V VDDIO voltages
  • Green package: 240-ball FBGA

Application

  • DDR5 MRDIMM / MCRDIMM
