Kingston ValueRAM 8GB DDR3L SODIMM Memory Module

The Kingston ValueRAM KVR16LS11/8 delivers reliable 8GB DDR3L memory performance for laptop and notebook systems. This low voltage memory module operates at 1.35V, reducing power consumption while maintaining DDR3-1600 speeds for efficient multitasking and system responsiveness.

Technical Specifications

This 8GB 2Rx8 1G x 64-bit PC3L-12800 CL11 204-pin SODIMM module is based on sixteen 512M x 8-bit FBGA components. The SPD is programmed to JEDEC standard latency DDR3-1600 timing of 11-11-11 at 1.35V or 1.5V. The 204-pin SODIMM features gold contact fingers for reliable connectivity and measures 1.18 inches (30mm) in height with double-sided components.

Low Voltage Efficiency

Operating at both 1.35V (1.28V ~ 1.45V) and 1.5V (1.425V ~ 1.575V), this DDR3L memory module provides dual voltage compatibility. The low voltage operation at 1.35V reduces heat generation and extends battery life in mobile computing environments, making it ideal for laptop upgrades.

Performance Features

The module runs at 800MHz fCK for 1600Mb/sec/pin data transfer rates with 8 independent internal banks. Programmable CAS latency options include 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6, with programmable additive latency of 0, CL-2, or CL-1 clock. The 8-bit pre-fetch architecture and bi-directional differential data strobe ensure efficient data handling.

Burst length configurations of 8 (interleave without limit, sequential with starting address "000" only) or 4 with tCCD=4 provide flexible operation modes. Internal self-calibration through the ZQ pin (RZQ: 240 ohm ±1%) and on-die termination using the ODT pin optimize signal integrity.

Reliability and Compatibility

This non-ECC unbuffered memory module features asynchronous reset capability and average refresh periods of 7.8μs at temperatures below 85°C and 3.9μs between 85°C and 95°C. JEDEC standard compliance ensures broad compatibility with DDR3L-supporting laptop systems.

Kingston backs this ValueRAM module with a lifetime warranty, providing long-term reliability for system upgrades. The blister pack packaging protects the module during shipping and storage.
