Maximum total memory density (GB)

34

This is the maximum supported density.

Total data width (bits)

16, 32, 64

16 and 64-bit LPDDR4 are not supported. 16-bit is supported for DDR4 only.

Component memory density (Gb per die)

0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16

3, 6, 12 and 16Gb single-channel LPDDR4 are not supported.

6, 12, 24 and 32Gb dual-channel LPDDR4 are not supported.

Component data width (bits)

8, 16, 32

4-bit devices not supported. Byte-mode LPDDR4 devices not supported.
