en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Montage Technology has officially announced that it has successfully sampled its DDR5 sixth-generation Registering Clock Driver chip (RCD06) to major global memory customers. This chip is used in next-generation DDR5 Registered Dual Inline Memory Modules (RDIMM), supporting data transfer rates of up to 9200 MT/s, a 15% improvement over the previous generation, meeting the stringent high-bandwidth requirements of next-generation server platforms. Montage Technology President Stephen Tai stated that the demand for memory bandwidth continues to rise in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and various memory-intensive workloads, and the new generation DDR5 RDIMM is a key component in meeting this demand.
The RCD06 chip adopts a dual-channel independent architecture, where two sub-channels share clock logic but operate independently, allowing for separate parity checks without interference. The device also integrates Continuous Time Linear Equalization (CTLE) and a low-jitter Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), enhancing signal integrity while ensuring precision and stability in clock distribution. Montage Technology is collaborating closely with ecosystem partners, including leading memory manufacturers, CPU suppliers, and end customers, to accelerate the industrialization of the latest DDR5 sub-generation memory technology.
Montage Technology is a board member of JEDEC, the global microelectronics industry standards body, and holds chair or vice-chair positions in four JEDEC committees and subcommittees. The company leads the development of international standards for DDR5 RCD, MDB, and CKD chips, and actively participates in setting standards for supporting chips in DDR5 memory modules. Leveraging the consistent high quality, stability, and reliability of its products, Montage Technology continues to solidify its global leadership position in the DDR5 era.
JEDEC has planned six sub-generations for DDR5 memory interface chips, with Montage Technology's sampled RCD06 being the sixth-generation product. During a performance briefing on May 14, 2026, the company stated its plan to complete the engineering development of the DDR5 sixth-generation RCD chip by 2026, and this sampling progress is in line with expectations. Montage Technology's RCD product line iteration path is clear: from RCD01 (4800 MT/s) to RCD03 (6400 MT/s), then to RCD04 (7200 MT/s, mass production in October 2025), and up to RCD06 (9200 MT/s, sampling in June 2026). The previous generation RCD04 began volume shipments in the second half of 2025. In addition to RCD chips, Montage Technology is simultaneously developing products such as Multiplexed Registering Clock Drivers (MRCD) and Multiplexed Data Buffers (MDB), planning to complete the engineering development of the third-generation MRCD/MDB chips by 2026.
