Additional Details
The K4X51163PG-FGC60 is typically packaged in a FBGA (Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array) package for surface mounting on a printed circuit board. It requires a specific supply voltage, which is typically 1.5V for DDR3 SDRAM. The timing characteristics, such as CAS latency (CL), RAS-to-CAS delay (tRCD), and RAS precharge time (tRP), are crucial for proper operation and should be configured according to the system's specifications and the memory controller's requirements. The FGC60 suffix specifies the speed grade and timing details, which are available in the official Samsung datasheet.
