Advanced Memory Buffer Overview
The Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) reference design complies with the FB-DIMM Architecture and Protocol Specification. It supports DDR2 SDRAM main memory. The AMB allows buffering of memory traffic to support large memory capacities. All memory control for the DRAM resides in the host, including memory request initiation, timing, refresh, scrubbing, sparing, configuration access, and power management. The AMB interface is responsible for handling FB-DIMM channel and memory requests to and from the local DIMM and for forwarding requests to other DIMMs on the FB-DIMM channel.
