Micron Technology, Boise, Idaho, and ATP Electronics, Taiwan, have teamed up to ensure the continuous supply of legacy DDR2 memory modules in the market, beyond Micron’s announced end-of-life (EOL) notices.
According to the collaboration agreement, ATP will produce DDR2 DRAM modules for customers that choose not to upgrade to newer-generation platforms to maintain the use of platforms supporting these memory types. With DDR2 still widely deployed in the United States, Japan, and Europe, ATP and Micron expect these markets to remain significant.
All modules will be manufactured, tested and validated by ATP, according to the equivalent specifications and testing/validation processes of the respective Micron part number. The DDR2 Continuity Program will be implemented on a staggered basis within three manufacturing phases. DDR2 DRAM modules from ATP will be available in select form factors and densities starting Q4 2018.
