Legacy DDR3L Supply Continuity for ATM and Inspection Equipment

ATM and X-ray inspection platforms remained on DDR3L under the supply arrangement agreed for the program, avoiding the requalification associated with a memory generation change.

Compact embedded computing board

Application Overview

ATM and X-ray inspection platforms, qualified and certified on DDR3L and in active service.

Project Requirements

Migrating to a newer memory generation would have required revalidation and engineering effort on equipment whose value derives from remaining unchanged.

Avoiding revalidation was a key project requirement.

Project Configuration

DDR3L 1600 8 GB, in both U‑DIMM and SO‑DIMM.

Project configuration as recorded for this program. Current product availability is listed under Products.

Qualification & Implementation

  • Configuration held under a fixed bill of materials.
  • Stability testing completed under continuous operation.
  • Legacy specifications supplied under the arrangement agreed for this program.

Recorded Outcomes

Continued DDR3L supply extended the product lifecycle by more than 50%.

Key Engineering Factors

Lifecycle Coordination

Legacy specifications supplied under the arrangement agreed for this program.

Configuration Control

A fixed bill of materials, so the certified configuration remained unchanged.

Revalidation Avoidance

Continuity on the qualified generation, removing the requalification the alternative would have required.
