Ultra-wide temperature memory for in-vehicle and heavy-industrial applications

Advantech now offers the SQR-SD4E, a new ultra-wide-temperature SQRAM DDR4 3200 rugged memory solution that offers reliability and industrial-grade stability for a wide range of operating temperatures from -40C to 125C. SQR-SD4E fixes overheating problems and has adopted Micron automotive-grade DRAM IC, which natively supports -40C to 125C operating temperatures. It does this with an innovative design and unique specifications to provide extraordinary durability in high-temperature critical applications, such as defence, in-vehicle, mining, and heavy industry.

The new solution is designed with original Micron industrial-grade DRAM IC and 30µ" golden finger PCB, which can support operating temperatures from -40C to 125C. The series has undergone extreme long-run burn-in and stress tests to assure its reliability. It also supports SODIMM and comes in 8GB/16GB/32GB capacities with a data transfer rate of 3200MT/s.

It fulfils the need for both ruggedness and performance to satisfy a diverse set of critical industrial applications. An underfill technique enables stronger structural support between the DRAM chip and the substrate, effectively reducing the edge stress. At the same time, it is better protected against moisture and other environmental hazards to improve the stability and durability of the memory module.

The solution offers a heatsink solution with different options for various use cases. Extra heatsinks can dissipate more heat and keep the module temperature low enough to evade overheating during operation. Having added heatsinks can enhance durability of the memory module in the most critical environments.

The solution comes with its own SQ Manager software, which monitors DRAM in real-time, providing 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. The software can be executed as part of the system for real-time temperature management. To sustain system performance stability, the company's exclusive software flexibly supports Cloud Remote Control mode and On-Premise versions on each device, which is free to download from its website.

The DDR4 3200 ultra-wide temperature series is an ideal solution for critical industrial markets, and its rugged design is an excellent choice for temperature-sensitive applications.
