IDT Introduces Thermal Sensor for DDR3 Memory Modules to Expand Cloud Computing Portfolio
May 09 2011 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NASDAQ:IDTI), the
Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal
semiconductor solutions, today introduced a new family of
low-power, precision temperature sensors targeted at Double Data
Rate 2 and 3 (DDR2 and DDR3) memory modules, Solid State Drives
(SSD), and computing motherboards. These new devices complement
IDT’s PCI Express®, signal integrity, flash memory controller,
power management, and timing products to offer a rich set of
application optimized enterprise computing solutions.
The digital thermal sensors support both a 3.3V and lower-power
2.5V SM-Bus and I2C interface for improved system power efficiency
and compatibility with both existing and emerging serial bus
controllers. For further power savings, advanced on-die power
management features minimize power consumption during critical
modes, such as when mobile or fault-tolerant enterprise systems are
operating on battery power. The new product family includes a
stand-alone temperature sensor (TS3000GB2), as well as one
with an integrated 256-byte EEPROM array (TSE2002GB2) on a
single, monolithic die for non-volatile storage of user
information, such as system configuration data for the Serial
Presence Detect (SPD) feature of the memory module.
The devices continue IDT’s tradition of industry-leading
temperature accuracy by exceeding the requirements set forth by the
Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) JC42.4
specification for Grade B temperature sensors, providing ±1°C
temperature sensing accuracy over the entire temperature range of
-20°C to +125°C. In addition, an innovative high-performance
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) enables up to 12-bit (0.0625°C)
programmable resolution with industry-leading conversion time,
dramatically improving precision across the full temperature
range.
“Our customers are continually asking for increased system
reliability and greater power efficiency, and IDT thermal sensors
help us achieve these requirements,” said Arthur Sainio, Sr.
Product Manager of SMART Modular Technologies. “We are pleased that
IDT offers such a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance
computing solutions to address the growing demand of the cloud
computing market.”
“As the next generation of computing equipment migrates to lower
power and lower voltage architectures, IDT continues to lead those
transitions with complete solutions for the memory module market,”
said Mario Montana, vice president and general manager of the
Enterprise Computing Division at IDT. “Our customers trust IDT to
be a leader in performance, power and reliability, and our new
family of thermal sensors reinforces that trust.”
Both the TS3000GB2 and TSE2002GB2 support SM-Bus and I2C
protocols and specifications, including timeout requirements
critical for next generation systems, along with input glitch
filtering and power-up voltage hysteresis to enhance fault
tolerance in any customer system design.
Pricing and Availability
The IDT temperature sensors are currently sampling to qualified
customers. They are available in 8-pin DFN and TDFN packages that
are RoHS compliant. The TSE2002GB2 and TS3000GB2 are priced at
$0.85 and $0.75 each for volumes of 10,000 units, respectively. For
