AMP INC.: Media: Rugged SODIMM

Press Release

March 1, 2011

Nuremberg, GERMANY - - Accelerated Memory Production, Inc. (amp inc.) today introduced RSODIMM™, a new specification for rugged SODIMM memory.

The announcement, made at the Embedded World 2011 conference in Nuremberg, introduces another innovative memory product to AMP's extensive memory product line.

The new RSODIMM standard offers a cost effective way to satisfy high durability standards in applications such as transportation, medical, military and aviation.

In most respects the RSODIMM and standard JEDEC SODIMM modules are identical. The new RSODIMM extends the module 10mm and allows for a pair of mounting holes for a more secure and stable installation. These modules have been successfully tested to 12G, per MIL STD 202 and are currently being designed for deployment in military vehicles.

The new RSODIMM modules are rated at -40 to +85 or -20 to +70 degrees C temperature operation, providing critical durability in the harsh environments they are designed to operate in.

"The RSODIMM memory standard provides an easy and efficient way for makers of single board computers to enhance the ruggedness and reliability of their products," said Cathleen Plock, Vice President of Marketing at AMP, Inc., a leading supplier of memory modules. "AMP, Inc. is excited to be among the initial supporters of this important new embedded industry standard."

Products are available now from AMP Inc.
