Fast Page Mode DRAM Controller

Related Products

Reference Design LogoFast page mode DRAM offers improved speed over standard DRAM. When memory access is performed within the same address row (page), a single precharge is required for only the first access. Subsequent access within the page can then be made without the time penalty of additional precharge cycles. Although it has lost popularity in some areas to faster technologies such as double data rate (DDR) SDRAM, FPM DRAM is still a very cost-effective solution when the highest performance is not required.
