Mercury Systems Announces Defense Industry’s First DDR4 High Density Secure Memory Device
March 02 2017 - 4:15PM
Mercury Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCY) (www.mrcy.com), announced the
latest development in its high density secure memory product line,
integrating double data rate fourth-generation synchronous dynamic
random-access memory (DDR4 SDRAM) with its SWaP-efficient packaging
technology. Replacing up to eighteen industrial or commercial DDR4
devices with a single military-hardened component, Mercury delivers
space savings up to 75% in a ball grid array (BGA) package with
data transfer speeds up to 3200 Mb/s. Mercury’s Advanced
Microelectronics Center (AMC) in Phoenix, Ariz., will produce 8GB
DDR4 devices in the second half of 2017 to support next-generation
customer designs. 2GB and 16GB devices are slated for production
thereafter.
“Since pioneering the first DDR high density secure memory
devices more than 15 years ago, our miniaturization technology has
advanced with each successive generation of DDR memory,” said Iain
Mackie, Vice President and General Manager of Mercury’s
Microelectronics Secure Solutions group. “Our memory solutions are
optimized for density while withstanding the harshest operating
environments. With today’s announcement, Defense prime contractors
now have a trusted supplier of compact, military-grade DDR4 memory
for high-speed, low-power, mission-critical
subsystems.” The
three-dimensional packaging technology developed by Mercury
transforms a two-dimensional array of discrete memory devices into
a single, vertically stacked, dense BGA package without sacrificing
the benefits of DDR4 adoption. Component selection and integration
is optimized through advanced thermal, mechanical and electrical
modeling. Mercury’s precision engineering delivers the robust
mechanical integrity needed to withstand the harshest of operating
environments. For enhanced board-level reliability over commercial
memory devices, lead alloy solder is used for the mechanical and
electrical interface to the customer’s mission computing
subsystems. In addition
to uncompromising performance, supply chain security and trust are
integrated through the complete lifecycle of the high density
secure memory portfolio. From low-rate initial production through
full-rate production, all high density secure memory products are
manufactured exclusively in the Company’s Defense Microelectronics
Activity (DMEA) trusted facility. Mercury’s commitment to
excellence in industrial security has been recognized by the
Defense Security Service (DSS) with multiple Superior ratings for
several of its AMC facilities. Furthermore, all design and
manufacturing records are protected with an active cybersecurity
program modeled after the Center for Internet Security (CIS)
critical security controls.
Mercury Systems is now engaging in design opportunities with
industrial, commercial aerospace, and defense applications
requiring high-speed DDR4 memory optimized for size, weight, and
power. Customers can participate in Mercury’s DDR4 design program,
