[ MEMORY // IDENTIFIED VINTAGE MODULE ]
Samsung KMM5362203C2W
The KMM536 prefix identifies a 36-bit-width module; this 8 MB assembly adds parity lanes to its 32 data bits. This is a model-specific record, not a generic SIMM-family listing.
Exact module specifications
| Manufacturer / exact part number | Samsung KMM5362203C2W |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 8 MB (2M × 36 bits; 32 data plus four parity bits) |
| Generation / contact count | 72-pin SIMM, 72-pin single-inline-contact vintage generation |
| Memory mode and parity | Fast Page Mode (FPM) DRAM; 36-bit parity organization; parity is not ECC |
| Speed / access time | 60 ns row-access (tRAC) timing variant documented for this module family |
| Operating voltage | 5 V nominal (module-family datasheet specifies a single +5 V supply; ±10% where stated). |
| Chip organization | Four 1M × 16 DRAMs plus two 1M × 4 Quad-CAS DRAMs form the 2M × 36 data/parity organization |
Host compatibility & handling
For 72-pin 5 V hosts whose memory controller and firmware support 36-bit parity SIMMs at this density. A parity-capable host is required to use/check parity; a 32-bit non-parity host must not be assumed compatible.
- 72-pin SIMMs have 32-bit data or 36-bit data-plus-parity organization; 30-pin SIMMs expose 8 or 9 bits. 30-pin and 72-pin modules are not interchangeable.
- Confirm the system’s documented voltage, supported memory density, parity policy, bank-width/population order, and access timing before installation; matching notches do not guarantee support.
- Handle by board edges, protect from ESD, and document the complete module/chip markings and the host used for testing.
Model-specific identification notes
The KMM536 prefix identifies a 36-bit-width module; this 8 MB assembly adds parity lanes to its 32 data bits. The module organization and exact SKU should be checked against the cited data-sheet/archive records and the physical label; speed suffixes are not interchangeable.
