'''Low-Power Double Data Rate''' ('''LPDDR'''), also known as '''LPDDR SDRAM''', is a type of [[synchronous dynamic random-access memory]] (SDRAM) that [[Low-power electronics|consumes less power]] than other random access memory designs and is thus targeted for [[mobile computing]] devices such as [[laptop computers]] and [[smartphone]]s. Older variants are also known as Mobile DDR, and abbreviated as mDDR.
Modern LPDDR SDRAM is distinct from [[DDR SDRAM]], with various differences that make the technology more appropriate for mobile applications.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |url=https://blogs.synopsys.com/committedtomemory/2014/01/10/when-is-lpddr3-not-lpddr3-when-its-ddr3l/ |title=When is LPDDR3 not LPDDR3?

LPDDR technology standards are developed independently of DDR standards, with LPDDR4X and even LPDDR5 for example being implemented prior to [[DDR5 SDRAM]] and offering far higher data rates than [[DDR4 SDRAM]].

In contrast with standard SDRAM, used in stationary devices and laptops and usually connected over a 64-bit wide memory bus, LPDDR also permits 16- or 32-bit wide channels.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/LPDDR |title=LPDDR |work=[[Texas Instruments]] wiki |access-date=10 March 2015 |archive-date=5 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120305050353/http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/LPDDR |url-status=dead }}</ref>
The "E" and "X" versions mark enhanced versions of the specifications. They formalize overclocking the memory array by usually 33%.
As with standard SDRAM, most generations double the internal fetch size and external transfer speed. (DDR4 and LPDDR5 being the exceptions.)
== Generations ==
=== LPDDR(1) ===
The original low-power DDR (sometimes retroactively called '''LPDDR1'''), released in 2006 is a slightly modified form of [[DDR SDRAM]], with several changes to reduce overall power consumption.
Most significantly, the supply voltage is reduced from 2.5 to 1.8&nbsp;V. Additional savings come from temperature-compensated refresh (DRAM requires refresh less often at low temperatures), partial array self refresh, and a "deep power down" mode which sacrifices all memory contents. Additionally, chips are smaller, using less board space than their non-mobile equivalents. [[Samsung Electronics|Samsung]] and [[Micron Technology|Micron]] are two of the main providers of this technology, which is used in tablet and phone devices such as the [[iPhone 3GS]], [[iPad (1st generation)|original iPad]], [[Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0]] and [[Motorola Droid X]].<ref>[http://www.anandtech.com/show/4062/samsung-galaxy-tab-the-anandtech-review Anandtech Samsung Galaxy Tab - The AnandTech Review], 23 December 2010</ref>
=== LPDDR2 ===
[[File:Motorola Xoom - Samsung K4P4G154EC-FGC1 on main board-0122.jpg|thumb|Samsung K4P4G154EC-FGC1 4&nbsp;Gbit LPDDR2 chip

In 2009, the standards group [[JEDEC]] published JESD209-2, which defined a more dramatically revised low-power DDR interface.<ref name="lpddr2" /><ref>{{Cite news |title= JEDEC Announces Publication of LPDDR2 Standard for Low Power Memory Devices |work= Press release |date= 2 April 2009 |url= https://www.jedec.org/news/pressreleases/jedec-announces-publication-lpddr2-standard-low-power-memory-devices |access-date= 28 November 2021 }}</ref>
It is not compatible with either DDR1 or [[DDR2 SDRAM]], but can accommodate any one of:
* LPDDR2-S2: 2''n'' prefetch memory (like DDR1),
* LPDDR2-S4: 4''n'' prefetch memory (like DDR2), or
* LPDDR2-N: Non-volatile ([[NAND flash]]) memory.
Low-power states are similar to basic LPDDR, with some additional partial array refresh options.
Timing parameters are specified for LPDDR-200 to LPDDR-1066 (clock frequencies of 100 to 533&nbsp;MHz).
Working at 1.2&nbsp;V, LPDDR2 multiplexes the control and address lines onto a 10-bit [[double data rate]] CA bus. The commands are similar to [[SDRAM#SDRAM control signals|those of normal SDRAM]], except for the reassignment of the precharge and burst terminate opcodes:

Column address bit C0 is never transferred, and is assumed to be zero. Burst transfers thus always begin at even addresses.
LPDDR2 also has an active-low chip select (when high, everything is a NOP) and clock enable CKE signal, which operate like SDRAM. Also like SDRAM, the command sent on the cycle that CKE is first dropped selects the power-down state:
* If the chip is active, it freezes in place.
* If the command is a NOP ({{overline|CS}} low or CA0–2 = HHH), the chip idles.
* If the command is a refresh command (CA0–2 = LLH), the chip enters the self-refresh state.
* If the command is a burst terminate (CA0–2 = HHL), the chip enters the deep power-down state. (A full reset sequence is required when leaving.)
The mode registers have been greatly expanded compared to conventional SDRAM, with an 8-bit address space, and the ability to read them back. Although smaller than a [[serial presence detect]] EEPROM, enough information is included to eliminate the need for one.
S2 devices smaller than 4&nbsp;[[gigabit|Gbit]], and S4 devices smaller than 1&nbsp;Gbit have only four banks. They ignore the BA2 signal, and do not support per-bank refresh.
Non-volatile memory devices do not use the refresh commands, and reassign the precharge command to transfer address bits A20 and up. The low-order bits (A19 and down) are transferred by a following Activate command. This transfers the selected row from the memory array to one of 4 or 8 (selected by the BA bits) row data buffers, where they can be read by a Read command. Unlike DRAM, the bank address bits are not part of the memory address; any address can be transferred to any row data buffer. A row data buffer may be from 32 to 4096 bytes long, depending on the type of memory. Rows larger than 32 bytes ignore some of the low-order address bits in the Activate command. Rows smaller than 4096 bytes ignore some of the high-order address bits in the Read command.
Non-volatile memory does not support the Write command to row data buffers. Rather, a series of control registers in a special address region support Read and Write commands, which can be used to erase and program the memory array.

On 25 August 2014, [[JEDEC]] published the JESD209-4 LPDDR4 Low Power Memory Device Standard.<ref>[http://www.jedec.org/news/pressreleases/jedec-releases-lpddr4-standard-low-power-memory-devices  'JEDEC Releases LPDDR4 Standard for Low Power Memory Devices'], JEDEC Solid State Technology Association.</ref><ref name=lpddr4 />
Significant changes include:
* Doubling of the interface speed, and numerous consequent electrical changes, including changing the I/O standard to low-voltage swing-terminated logic (LVSTL)
* Doubling of the internal prefetch size, and minimum transfer size
* Change from a 10-bit DDR command/address bus to a 6-bit SDR bus
* Change from one 32-bit wide bus to two independent 16-bit wide buses
* Self-refresh is enabled by dedicated commands, rather than being controlled by the CKE line
The standard defines SDRAM packages containing two independent 16-bit access channels, each connected to up to two [[Die (integrated circuit)|dies]] per package. Each channel is 16 data bits wide, has its own control/address pins, and allows access to 8 banks of DRAM. Thus, the package may be connected in three ways:
* Data lines and control connected in parallel to a 16-bit data bus, and only chip selects connected independently per channel.
* To two halves of a 32-bit wide data bus, and the control lines in parallel, including chip select.
* To two independent 16-bit wide data buses
Each die provides 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16&nbsp;[[gigabit]]s of memory, half to each channel. Thus, each bank is one sixteenth the device size. This is organized into the appropriate number (16&nbsp;[[kilobit|K]] to 64&nbsp;K) of 16384-bit (2048-byte) rows. Extension to 24 and 32&nbsp;gigabits is planned, but it is not yet decided if this will be done by increasing the number of rows, their width, or the number of banks.
Larger packages providing double width (four channels) and up to four dies per pair of channels (8 dies total per package) are also defined.
Data is accessed in bursts of either 16 or 32 transfers (256 or 512 bits, 32 or 64 bytes, 8 or 16 cycles DDR). Bursts must begin on 64-bit boundaries.
Since the clock frequency is higher and the minimum burst length longer than earlier standards, control signals can be more highly multiplexed without the command/address bus becoming a bottleneck. LPDDR4 multiplexes the control and address lines onto a 6-bit single data rate CA bus. Commands require 2 clock cycles, and operations encoding an address (e.g., activate row, read or write column) require two commands. For example, to request a read from an idle chip requires four commands taking 8 clock cycles: Activate-1, Activate-2, Read, CAS-2.
The chip select line (CS) is active-''high''. The first cycle of a command is identified by chip select being high; it is low during the second cycle.

The CAS-2 command is used as the second half of all commands that perform a transfer across the data bus, and provides low-order column address bits:
* Read commands must begin on a column address which is a multiple of 4; there is no provision for communicating a non-zero C0 or C1 address bit to the memory.
* Write commands must begin on a column address which is a multiple of 16; C2 and C3 must be zero for a write command.
* Mode register read and some multi-purpose commands must also be followed by a CAS-2 command, however all the column bits must be zero (low).
The burst length can be configured to be 16, 32, or dynamically selectable by the BL bit of read and write operations.
One DMI (data mask/invert) signal is associated with each 8 data lines, and can be used to minimize the number of bits driven high during data transfers. When high, the other 8 bits are complemented by both transmitter and receiver. If a byte contains five or more 1 bits, the DMI signal can be driven high, along with three or fewer data lines. As signal lines are terminated low, this reduces power consumption.
(An alternative usage, where DMI is used to limit the number of data lines which ''toggle'' on each transfer to at most 4, minimises crosstalk. This may be used by the memory controller during writes, but is not supported by the memory devices.)
Data bus inversion can be separately enabled for reads and writes. For masked writes (which have a separate command code), the operation of the DMI signal depends on whether write inversion is enabled.
* If DBI on writes is disabled, a high level on DMI indicates that the corresponding data byte is to be ignored and not written
* If DBI on writes is enabled, a ''low'' level on DMI, combined with a data byte with 5 or more bits set, indicates a data byte to be ignored and not written.
LPDDR4 also includes a mechanism for "targeted row refresh" to avoid corruption due to "[[row hammer]]" on adjacent rows. A special sequence of three activate/precharge sequences specifies the row which was activated more often than a device-specified threshold (200,000 to 700,000 per refresh cycle). Internally, the device refreshes [[Physically based rendering|physically]] adjacent rows rather than the one specified in the activate command.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://patents.google.com/patent/US20140059287| id = US20140059287 | title = Row hammer refresh command |work= Patents |access-date=10 March 2015}}</ref><ref name= lpddr4 />{{Rp |153–54}}

=== LPDDR5 ===
On 19 February 2019, [[JEDEC]] published the JESD209-5, Standard for Low Power Double Data Rate 5 (LPDDR5).<ref name=lpddr5>{{cite web|url=https://www.jedec.org/news/pressreleases/jedec-updates-standard-low-power-memory-devices-lpddr5|title=JEDEC Updates Standard for Low Power Memory Devices: LPDDR5|work=jedec.org|access-date=19 February 2019}}</ref>
[[Samsung]] announced it had working prototype LPDDR5 chips in July 2018. LPDDR5 introduces the following changes:<ref>{{cite news |title=Samsung Announces First LPDDR5 DRAM Chip, Targets 6.4Gbps Data Rates & 30% Reduced Power |first=Ryan |last=Smith |date=16 July 2018 |journal=[[AnandTech]] |url=https://www.anandtech.com/show/13084/samsung-announces-first-lpddr5-64gbps-data-rates}}</ref>
* Data transfer rate is increased to 6400&nbsp;Mbit/s per pin
* [[Differential signalling|Differential]] clocks are used (3200 MHz, DDR)
* Prefetch is ''not'' doubled again, but remains 16''n''
* The number of banks is increased to 16, divided into four [[DDR4]]-like bank groups
* Power-saving improvements:<ref name=lpddr5/>
** Data-Copy and Write-X (all one or all zero) commands to decrease data transfer
** Dynamic frequency and voltage scaling
* A new clocking architecture, where commands use a quarter-speed master clock (CK), while data is transferred using full-speed Write Clock (WCK) & Read Strobe (RDQS) signals which are enabled only when necessary<ref name=lpddr5/>
* One set of full-speed clocks per byte (vs. per 16 bits in LPDDR4)
* Elimination of the Clock Enable (CKE) pin; instead low-power mode is entered by a command over the CA bus, and lasts until the [[chip select]] signal next goes high
AMD Van Gogh, Intel [[Tiger Lake (microprocessor)|Tiger Lake]], [[Apple silicon]] (M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2 and A16 Bionic), [[HiSilicon#Kirin 9000 5G/4G & Kirin 9000E|Huawei Kirin 9000]] and [[List of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors#Snapdragon 888/888+ 5G (2021)|Snapdragon 888]] memory controllers support LPDDR5.
The doubling of the transfer rate, and the quarter-speed master clock, results in a master clock which is half the frequency of a similar LPDDR4 clock. The command (CA) bus is widened to 7 bits, and commands are transferred at double data rate, so commands end up being sent at the same rate as LPDDR4.

Compared to earlier standards, the nomenclature for column addresses has changed. Both LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 allow up to 10 bits of column address, but the names are different. LPDDR4's C0–C9 are renamed B0–B3 and C0–C5. As with LPDDR4, writes must start at a multiple-of-16 address with B0–B3 zero, but reads may request a burst be transferred in a different order by specifying a non-zero value for B3.
As with LPDDR4, to read some data requires 4 commands: two activate commands to select a row, then a CAS and a read command to select a column. Unlike LPDDR4, the CAS command comes ''before'' the read or write command. In fact, it is something of a misnomer, in that it does not select a column at all. Instead, its primary function is to prepare the DRAM to synchronize with the imminent start of the high-speed WCK clock. The WS_FS, WS_RD and WS_WR bits select various timings, with the _RD and _WR options optimized for an immediately following read or write command, while the _FS option starts the clock immediately, and may be followed by multiple reads or writes, accessing multiple banks.
CAS also specifies the "write X" option. If the WRX bit is set, writes do not transfer data, but rather fill the burst with all-zeros or all-ones, under the control of the WXS (write-X select) bit. This takes the same amount of time, but saves energy.
In addition to the usual bursts of 16, there are commands for performing double-length bursts of 32. Reads (but not writes) may specify a starting position within the 32-word aligned burst using the C0 and B3 bits.
