PowerLSI Launches Next-Generation Power Management Semiconductor for DRAM Memory

[Asia Economy Reporter Ji-hwan Park] PowerLSI announced on the 9th that it has launched a system power management semiconductor (product name PS5000) for next-generation DRAM memory module (DDR5) applications.

The PS5000 is a semiconductor component that supplies DC power for the operation of DRAM memory modules. It is a product aimed at the market where the majority of DDR4 volumes will be replaced by DDR5 starting from the second half of 2023.

Existing DRAM memory modules (DDR4) receive power from an external motherboard, but from the next-generation DRAM DDR5, a dedicated power management semiconductor mounted on each individual module directly supplies power.

The PS5000 reflects the standard specifications announced by the JEDEC semiconductor engineering standard body. It features a high-output mode function through 'dual-phase operation' and applies PowerLSI's unique hybrid modulation. It is designed to provide stable power supply even in DRAM operating environments where sudden load current fluctuations occur. In addition to functional advantages, all partners involved in manufacturing, testing, and defect analysis are purely domestic companies, enabling stable product supply without being affected by overseas market conditions.

PowerLSI plans to soon introduce a low-power version of the power management semiconductor product targeting the low-cost memory market as a successor to the PS5000.

A PowerLSI official stated, "To leap forward as a total solution company related to power management semiconductors, we plan to continuously launch core semiconductors leading the 4th industrial revolution, such as digital power solutions for displays and motor drive semiconductors, in addition to the PS5000 power management semiconductor for DRAM memory."
