Samsung Multi-Chip Packages can help reduce the time to market
for handheld devices
WLI DDP Package
Offer higher performance for a rapidly
evolving market
Companies that make and sell smartphones, digital cameras,
tablet computers, portable media players (PMPs) and
other portable, handheld products face many significant
challenges.
Mobile device users expect those devices to accomplish
a growing array of functions, such as high-definition video
playback and multitasking. Those devices are expected to
operate at increasingly faster speeds with higher-density
displays. As wireless Internet usage grows, analysts report
that data traffic has been doubling every year, requiring a
higher-speed network.
In this evolving environment, the marketplace for portable
devices continues to grow globally amid intense competi-
tion. To succeed, in this demanding arena, manufacturers
must constantly improve performance and offer devices that
operate at increasingly faster speeds. They also need to
pack more memory into smaller spaces. Most importantly,
manufacturers must find new ways to reduce the time to
market.
Samsung Multi-Chip Packages (MCPs) comprise stacks
of discrete memory die combined into single packages.
Samsung offers a broad selection of leading-edge memory
technologies on a single Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
These technologies include NAND Flash; embedded multi-
media card (eMMC); LPDDR1 and LPDDR2 platforms. Device
makers can choose among many memory configurations,
most with multiple dies.
Samsung MCPs provide:
• Higherpower. Samsung MCPs combine different
capacities of volatile (RAM) and nonvolatile (ROM)
memory in a closely positioned, tightly coupled design.
This combination results in a significant performance
boost for the memory and the overall system.
• Improvedenergysavings. Many Samsung MCPs use
low-power memory technology combining Flash and
DRAM, which consumes less energy as it extends bat-
tery life.
• Greatercompactness. The “chip-stack” design of
Samsung MCPs saves up to 40 percent of space on
memory boards, based on internal Samsung tests.
• Addedstability. As an in-house supplier of DRAM and
Flash memory, Samsung provides more support for
product development.
• Improvedefciency. Vendors can integrate MCPs
from a single supplier into the overall system design
more quickly. As a result, less time and fewer resources
are needed to interface multiple memory devices with
different timing parameters.
• Fastertimetomarket. Integrating Samsung MCP
memory modules into the system helps manufacturers
develop and ship products faster.
Deliver innovative portable devices
more quickly.
