Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/672,287, filed on Jul. 17, 2012 and entitled “Flexible Memory Power Supply Architecture,” and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/768,406, filed on Feb. 23, 2013 and entitled “Mixed-Low-Voltage DRAM For Embedded DisplayPort,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a dynamic random access memory, and particularly to a dynamic random access memory applied to an embedded display port.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- An embedded display port (eDP) published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is used for acting as a standard display panel interface to connect external devices. For example, the embedded display port can act as an interface between a video card and a notebook panel. In addition, the embedded display port version 1.3 published by the Video Electronics Standards Association adds a panel self refresh (PSR) function, where the panel self refresh function can make a graphic processing unit (GPU) turn off connection between the graphic processing unit and a liquid crystal panel when a frame displayed on the liquid crystal panel is frozen. Thus, power consumption of the graphic processing unit can be significantly reduced and battery endurance ability can be extended.
- In addition, a timing controller supporting the panel self refresh function of the liquid crystal display needs to include a frame buffer (e.g. a dynamic random access memory). When the graphic processing unit turns off the connection between the graphic processing unit and the liquid crystal panel, the frame buffer needs to store a last frame before the graphic processing unit turns off the connection between the graphic processing unit and the liquid crystal panel. Therefore, when no data transmission exists between the graphic processing unit and the liquid crystal panel, the timing controller can directly output the last frame stored in the frame buffer.
- Although the panel self refresh function can make power consumption of the graphic processing unit be significantly reduced, power consumption of the timing controller is increased due to operation of the frame buffer. Therefore, how to design the frame buffer to reduce the power consumption of the timing controller becomes an important issue of memory manufacturers.
- An embodiment provides a dynamic random access memory applied to an embedded display port. The dynamic random access memory includes a memory core unit and a peripheral circuit unit. The memory core unit is used for operating in a first predetermined voltage. The peripheral circuit unit is electrically connected to the memory core unit for operating in a second predetermined voltage, where the second predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V.
- Another embodiment provides a dynamic random access memory applied to an embedded display port. The dynamic random access memory includes a memory core unit, a peripheral circuit unit, and an input/output unit. The memory core unit is used for operating in a first predetermined voltage. The peripheral circuit unit is electrically connected to the memory core unit for operating in a second predetermined voltage, where the second predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V. The input/output unit is electrically connected to the peripheral circuit unit and the memory core unit for operating in a third predetermined voltage, where the third predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V.
- The present invention provides a dynamic random access memory applied to an embedded display port. The dynamic random access memory makes a memory core unit, a peripheral circuit unit, and an input/output unit thereof operate in lower voltages. Compared to the prior art, power consumption of the dynamic random access memory of the present invention is much lower than power consumption of a dynamic random access memory operating in operation voltages specified by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council. Thus, when the dynamic random access memory of the present invention is applied to an embedded display port, the present invention can make system power consumption (e.g. power consumption of a graphic processing unit) be significantly reduced, not make power consumption of a timing controller be increased due to operation of a frame buffer, and extend battery endurance ability of a portable device.
- These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.
- The FIGURE is a diagram illustrating a dynamic
random access memory 100 applied to embedded display port according to an embodiment. - Please refer to the FIGURE. The FIGURE is a diagram illustrating a dynamic
random access memory 100 applied to an embedded display port according to an embodiment, where the dynamicrandom access memory 100 acts as a frame buffer of a timing controller of a liquid crystal display, and the dynamicrandom access memory 100 is compatible with a single data rate (SDR) specification, a double data rate (DDR I) specification, a double data rate two (DDR II) specification, or a double data rate three (DDR III) specification. As shown in the FIGURE, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 includes amemory core unit 102, aperipheral circuit unit 104, and an input/output unit 106, where theperipheral circuit unit 104 is electrically connected to thememory core unit 102, and the input/output unit 106 is electrically connected to theperipheral circuit unit 104 and thememory core unit 102. Please refer to Table I. Table I illustrates operation voltages (specified by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC)) of a dynamic random access memory operating in the DDR I specification, a low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and a low power DDR II specification. -
TABLE I memory core unit peripheral circuit input/ output 102 unit 104unit 106DDR I 3.3 V ± 0.3 V 3.3 V ± 0.3 V 3.3 V ± 0.3 V or or or 2.5 V ± 0.2 V 2.5 V ± 0.2 V 2.5 V ± 0.2 V Low Power 1.8 V ± 0.1 V 1.8 V ± 0.1 V 1.8 V ± 0.1 V DDR I DDR II 1.8 V ± 0.1 V 1.8 V ± 0.1 V 1.8 V ± 0.1 V Low Power DDR 1.7 V~1.95 V 1.14 V~1.30 V 1.14 V~1.30 V II - If the dynamic
random access memory 100 is designed to have low power consumption to reduce power consumption of the timing controller, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 needs to have low operation power consumption (e.g. power consumption for the dynamicrandom access memory 100 outputting storage frames to the timing controller) and low standby power consumption. But, the operation voltages specified by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (as shown in Table I) can not satisfy requirements (that is, the low operation power consumption and the low standby power consumption) of the embedded display port (eDP) version 1.3. - Please refer to Table II. Table II illustrates operation voltage ranges of the dynamic
random access memory 100 operating in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification according to an embodiment. -
TABLE II memory core unit peripheral input/ output unit 102 circuit unit 104106 operation <1.1 V <1.1 V <1.1 V voltage ranges - As shown in Table II, operation voltages of the
memory core unit 102 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are a first predetermined voltage, where the first predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V; operation voltages of theperipheral circuit unit 104 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are a second predetermined voltage, where the second predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V; and operation voltages of the input/output unit 106 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are a third predetermined voltage, where the third predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V. - As shown in Table II, because the operation voltages of the
memory core unit 102 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are the first predetermined voltage, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 has lower memory core power consumption; because the operation voltages of theperipheral circuit unit 104 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are the second predetermined voltage, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 has lower access power consumption; and the operation voltages of the input/output unit 106 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are the third predetermined voltage, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 has lower input/output power consumption. In addition, the input/output unit 106 is compatible with an interface provided by the prior art, so power consumption of the dynamicrandom access memory 100 is much lower than power consumption of the dynamic random access memory operating in the operation voltages specified by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council. - Please refer to Table III. Table III illustrates operation voltage ranges of the dynamic
random access memory 100 operating in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification according to another embodiment. -
TABLE III memory core unit peripheral input/ output unit 102 circuit unit 104106 operation 1.8 V ± 0.1 V <1.1 V <1.1 V voltage ranges - As shown in Table III, operation voltages of the
memory core unit 102 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are a first predetermined voltage, where the first predetermined voltage is equal to 1.8V±0.1V; operation voltages of theperipheral circuit unit 104 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are a second predetermined voltage, where the second predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V; and operation voltages of the input/output unit 106 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are a third predetermined voltage, where the third predetermined voltage is lower than 1.1V. - As shown in Table III, because the operation voltages of the
memory core unit 102 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are the first predetermined voltage, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 has higher charge pump efficiency; because the operation voltages of theperipheral circuit unit 104 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are the second predetermined voltage, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 has lower access power consumption; and the operation voltages of the input/output unit 106 in the DDR I specification, the low power DDR I specification, the DDR II specification, and the low power DDR II specification are the third predetermined voltage, the dynamicrandom access memory 100 has lower input/output power consumption. In addition, the input/output unit 106 is also compatible with an interface provided by the prior art, so power consumption of the dynamicrandom access memory 100 is much lower than power consumption of the dynamic random access memory operating in the operation voltages specified by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council. - To sum up, the dynamic random access memory applied to an embedded display port makes the memory core unit, the peripheral circuit unit, and the input/output unit operate in lower voltages. Compared to the prior art, power consumption of the dynamic random access memory of the present invention is much lower than power consumption of a dynamic random access memory operating in the operation voltages specified by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council. Thus, when the dynamic random access memory of the present invention is applied to an embedded display port, the present invention can make system power consumption (e.g. power consumption of a graphic processing unit) be significantly reduced, not make power consumption of the timing controller be increased due to operation of the frame buffer, and extend battery endurance ability of a portable device.
- Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
