Multi-Generation Memory Qualification for Precision Scale Platforms
SIMORCHIP became the memory and storage supplier for a precision scale product line through a single qualification program covering DDR4 SO‑DIMM, DDR3L SO‑DIMM and mSATA storage.
Application Overview
A precision scale product line spanning platform generations: current models on DDR4, earlier models on DDR3L, with mSATA storage across the range.
Project Requirements
The incumbent supply was being replaced, and the replacement had to cover every generation in the line under one program.
Legacy components on mixed-generation lines are frequently discontinued.
Project Configuration
DDR4 3200 SO‑DIMM, DDR3L 1600 SO‑DIMM and mSATA 128 GB.
Project configuration as recorded for this program. Current product availability is listed under Products.
Qualification & Implementation
- Qualification testing across both memory generations under one program.
- Test pass rate exceeded 99% during qualification.
- Supply coverage extended across current and legacy specifications alike.
Recorded Outcomes
SIMORCHIP became the memory and storage supplier across every generation in the product line under one qualification program.
Key Engineering Factors
One qualification effort covering both memory generations rather than two separate exercises.
DDR3L and mSATA supplied under the program arrangement.
Replacement products evaluated against the existing products throughout qualification.
