Ultra-wide temperature-capable memory for in-vehicle and heavy-industrial application

March 20, 2023 4:38 pm

Today’s high-performance computing applications generate more heat than ever, especially in outdoor scenarios.
Advantech, a global leader in embedded computing, released SQR-SD4E, a new ultra-wide-temperature SQRAM DDR4 3200 rugged memory solution. It delivers reliability and industrial-grade stability for a wide range of operating temperatures from -40 to 125°C.
SQR-SD4E solves overheating problems. It adopted Micron automotive-grade DRAM IC, which natively supports -40 to 125°C operating temperatures. It does this with an innovative design and unique specifications to ensure extraordinary durability in high-temperature critical applications, such as military, in-vehicle, mining, and heavy industry.
Today’s high-performance computing applications generate more heat than ever, especially in outdoor scenarios. Higher power demands for embedded computing in critical markets means the thermal-management problem is ever-present. Advantech’s SQR-SD4E is designed with original Micron industrial-grade DRAM IC and 30µ” golden finger PCB which can support operating temperatures from -40 to 125°C. To ensure reliability, the SQR-SD4E series has undergone extreme long-run burn-in and stress tests. It also supports SODIMM and comes in 8GB/16GB/32GB capacities with a data transfer rate of 3200 MT/s.
Rugged and reliable
Advantech’s SQR-SD4E fulfils the need for both ruggedness and performance to meet a diverse set of critical industrial applications. An underfill technique enables stronger structural support between the DRAM chip and the substrate, effectively decreasing the edge stress. At the same time, it is better protected against moisture and other environmental hazards to enhance the stability and durability of the memory module.
All high-performance embedded computing applications do not fully benefit from ruggedized technologies due to needing particular memory performance requirements. SQR-SD4E SQRAM provides a heatsink solution with different options for different use cases. Additional heatsinks can dissipate more heat and keep the module temperature low enough to avoid overheating during operation. Adding heatsinks can improve the memory module’s durability in the most critical environments.
Exclusive temperature monitoring software
Advantech SQRAM has its SQ Manager software, which monitors DRAM in real-time. It provides useful information, including dynamic memory speed, temperature, and an advanced overheating alert to inform the user of the operational health status of the memory system. SQ Manager can be executed as part of the system for real-time temperature management. To maintain system performance stability, Advantech’s exclusive software flexibly supports Cloud Remote Control mode and On-Premise versions on each device, which is free to download from the Advantech website.
The Advantech SQR-SD4E SQRAM DDR4 3200 ultra-wide temperature series is a suitable solution for critical industrial markets. Its rugged design is the best choice for temperature-sensitive applications.
