eFuse protects 64GB DDR5 DRAM in edge AI

Innodisk has launched a DDR5 DRAM memory module for edge AI applications with the industry’s largest single module capacity at 64Gbytes and eFuse protection.

The 6400 series is built for data-intensive applications in AI, telehealth, and edge computing with operation from 0°C to 95°C (Tc) and will soon support an extended range of -40°C to 95°C (Tc).

The module is available in several form factors, including CUDIMM, CSODIMM, and RDIMM, with a data transfer rate of 6400 MT/s. This provides a 14% boost in speed over previous generations and doubling the maximum capacity to 64GB.

These make the DDR5 module suitable for applications such as Large Language Models (LLMs), generative AI, autonomous vehicles, and mixed reality, which require high-speed, reliable data processing in real time.

This edge capability comes from a Client Clock Driver (CKD) that enhances signal integrity by buffering clock signals, which is essential for minimizing noise and ensuring accuracy during high-frequency data transfers as well as a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) for robust protection against voltage fluctuations, safeguarding sensitive components.

An eFuse in the RDIMM protects the module from overvoltage, preventing damage to components in server systems with higher voltage requirements, while 30μm gold plating protects against sulfurization, ensuring long-term durability in edge environments.

The DDR5 6400 series is fully compatible with the latest Intel and AMD processors and supports a range of options—CUDIMM, CSODIMM, ECC CUDIMM, ECC CSODIMM, and RDIMM—with capacities from 8GB to 64GB, giving users flexible configurations for varied use cases.

The module is aimed at next-generation edge AI applications such as smart factories using LLMs to consolidate and manage complex production data instantly, supporting swift decision-making. In remote healthcare, high-resolution 3D imaging and real-time data analysis empower precise, remote surgical procedures for patients.
