  • Page 89 Appendix SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) SDRAM is one of the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technologies that allow DRAM to use the same clock as the CPU host clock (EDO and FPM are asynchronous and do not have clock signal). SDRAM comes in 64-bit 168-pin DIMM and operates at 3.3V. SIMM (Single In Line Memory Module) SIMM socket is only 72-pin, and is only single side.
  • Page 90 85SID USB (Universal Serial Bus) USB is a 4-pin serial peripheral bus that is capable of cascading low/ medium speed peripherals (less than 10Mbit/s) such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem. VCM (Virtual Channel Memory) NEC’s Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) is a new DRAM core architecture that dramatically improves the memory system’s ability to service multimedia requirements.
