DDR Recommended Equipment

DDR achieves greater bandwidth than the preceding single data rate SDRAM by transferring data on the rising and falling edges of the clock signal (double pumped). Effectively, it doubles the transfer rate without increasing the frequency of the clock.

Supported SDRAM standards
SDRAM	Data Rate MT/S	Clock MHz	VDD V
LP-DDR	166	83	1.8
DDR-200	200	100	2.5
DDR-266	266	133	2.5
DDR-333	333	166	2.5
DDR-400	400	200	2.5
