EDO Memory

EDO Memory, the short form of Extended Data-Out memory is a memory chip technology that helps in improving the memory performance up to 10-15 percent if attached to an equivalent and compatible device.

The DRAM is structured based on the matrix bits and thus; due to time restriction, the capability of higher performance is limited by the memory controller. On the other hand, an EDO memory permits the controller to start a new column address when performing at the present address. So, the total operating performance increases significantly.

Generally, the exterior of an EDO memory is similar to a SIMM memory, but the designs of the chips are different.
