DDR5 At a Glance

• Fewer CA pins - 14 pins now support 2 channels

• 7 CA pins per Channel to logical and 14 pins to DRAM
  – Fully encoded Commands for DDR5 - CKE&ODT removed
  1) New Command Truth Table 1&2 cycle commands
  2) Module logic uses DDR and DRAM is always SDR
  3) New High Speed sideband bus - I2C&I3C(12.5M)

• Two independent channels per DIMM - new for DDR5
  – 2-40 bit Data paths per DIMM, each with 14 bits of Address&Command

• Higher Density - Support for 8Gbit to 64Gbit Device
  – TSV/3DS - 4H to 8H more memory address space than DDR4

• Higher Bandwidth - every generation doubles bits per second
  – First reversion probably 4800Mbps
  – 6400Mbps and possibly higher in later revisions

• More Reliable - On Die ECC

Multi-Die Options for DDR5

DDR5 will not have DDP Module
