DDR Memory Modules suit printers and set top boxes.
Press Release Summary:
DDR SDRAM 32-bit DIMM modules use same motherboard socket as single data rate SDRAM versions, providing OEMs immediate migration path to DDR memory. Units range in size from 32-512 MB and include speed grades of DDR266 and DDR333, which translates into system bus bandwidth of 1.05 and 1.35 GB/s.

Micron Technology Announces Industry's First Samples of DDR SDRAM 32-Bit DIMMS
DDR memory modules provide performance boost in printers and set top boxes
BOISE, Idaho, November 25, 2002 - Micron Technology announces the availability of DDR SDRAM 32-bit DIMM modules. The 32-bit DDR DIMM opens the door to higher performance levels and greater bandwidth without sacrificing board real estate occupied by the memory sub-system. The 32-bit data bus width is common in electronic devices such as printers and set top boxes devices, whereas the standard desktop PC-based DIMM uses a 64-bit data bus. "This product is an excellent example of our continuous efforts in providing leading-edge memory solutions," said Terry Lee, Executive Director of Advanced Technology and Strategic Marketing for Micron's Computing and Consumer Group. "It demonstrates Micron's commitment to the embedded systems market and our objectives to bring the benefits of high-performance DDR technology to applications beyond the traditional PC market."
"Micron's DDR SDRAM 32-bit DIMM keeps system costs low by using the same motherboard socket as the single data rate SDRAM version," added Lee. "This exciting new product is significant in that it gives OEMs currently using SDRAM an immediate migration path to DDR memory with greatly improved bandwidth." Micron is working with JEDEC to standardize the 32-bit DDR DIMM. The DDR SDRAM 32-bit DIMMs range in size from 32MB to 512MB and include speed grades of DDR266 and DDR333. This translates to system bus bandwidth of 1.05GB/s and 1.35GB/s.
