Montage says its fifth-generation DDR5 clock driver has entered production

Montage Technology says mass production has begun for its RCD05 register clock driver for DDR5 RDIMMs. The company lists support for data rates up to 8,000 MT/s, about 11% above the preceding RCD04 generation. It says the chip includes clock-driving and equalization features intended to maintain signal quality at higher speeds. The component is designed for server memory modules used in data centers and AI systems. The announcement concerns a memory interface chip; it does not state the number of units produced or how much server DRAM capacity will be added.
