Description

The Micron MTC20C2085S1TC48BA1 is a 32GB DDR5 SDRAM SO-DIMM memory module designed for compatible computing platforms that require high-capacity, high-speed memory in a compact form factor. With a 4800 MT/s data transfer rate, this module provides the bandwidth required by modern applications and workloads while maintaining the low-voltage characteristics of DDR5 technology.

Featuring a 32GB memory capacity, the module is suitable for systems that require additional memory for multitasking, virtualization, data processing, professional applications, embedded computing, and other memory-intensive workloads. Its DDR5-4800 / PC5-4800 specification provides significantly higher memory transfer performance than previous-generation DDR4 modules when installed in a compatible DDR5 platform.

The MTC20C2085S1TC48BA1 uses a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor, making it substantially more compact than standard 288-pin desktop or server DIMMs. This compact design is intended for systems where board space and physical dimensions are constrained, including certain compact workstations, embedded systems, networking platforms, industrial computers, and other specialized computing equipment.

The module operates at a nominal 1.1V, consistent with DDR5 memory technology, helping provide efficient operation while supporting the high data-transfer rates expected from modern memory architectures. It features a x72 data width, incorporating an additional data path associated with ECC operation for platforms designed to support error-correcting memory.

With a rated speed of 4800 MT/s and CL40 latency, the module is engineered to provide a balance between memory bandwidth and access latency. This makes it well suited for professional workloads where system responsiveness and memory throughput are important.

Key Product Specifications

DDR5-4800 Performance

The 4800 MT/s data-transfer rate allows the MTC20C2085S1TC48BA1 to provide substantially increased memory bandwidth compared with many older DDR4 platforms.

At 4800 MT/s, DDR5 technology is capable of transferring data at 4.8 billion transfers per second, providing high throughput for applications that continuously move large amounts of data between the processor and system memory.

This makes the module particularly useful for:

• Large datasets
• Professional software
• Virtualized environments
• Database workloads
• Embedded applications
• Engineering and technical workloads
• Multitasking
• Content creation
• Data analysis
• Professional workstation applications

32GB High-Capacity Configuration

With 32GB of memory capacity in a single module, the MTC20C2085S1TC48BA1 provides a practical way to increase system memory without requiring multiple lower-capacity modules.

Higher memory capacity can help systems maintain more applications and larger datasets in active memory, reducing the need to rely as heavily on slower storage-based virtual memory.

This is particularly beneficial for systems running:

• Multiple applications simultaneously
• Large databases
• Virtual machines
• Development environments
• Engineering software
• Data-processing applications
• Professional productivity software
• Memory-intensive operating environments

ECC Memory Technology

The ECC (Error-Correcting Code) capability is an important feature for supported professional and enterprise-oriented platforms.

ECC memory is designed to detect and correct certain types of memory errors, helping improve data integrity and system reliability. This can be particularly valuable in systems where data accuracy and continuous operation are important.

The module’s x72 organization reflects its ECC-oriented memory configuration.

Important: ECC functionality depends on the memory controller and host platform. Installing an ECC-capable module in a system that does not support ECC does not necessarily enable ECC operation.

Compact 262-Pin SO-DIMM Form Factor

Unlike conventional desktop and server DIMMs, the MTC20C2085S1TC48BA1 uses a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor.

SO-DIMM modules are physically smaller and are commonly used where space is limited. This makes the module suitable for compatible compact systems and specialized computing platforms.

The 262-pin configuration is an important compatibility requirement.

Buyers should verify:

• The host system supports DDR5 SO-DIMM
• The system uses a 262-pin memory slot
• The system supports 32GB modules
• The system supports DDR5-4800
• The system supports the module’s ECC configuration
• The system’s processor/memory controller supports the required memory organization

Low-Voltage DDR5 Operation

The module operates at 1.1V, which is the standard nominal operating voltage associated with DDR5 memory.

DDR5 technology incorporates architectural improvements intended to increase memory performance while maintaining efficient power characteristics. For compatible systems, this allows higher memory transfer rates without simply relying on increased operating voltage.

CL40 Memory Timing

The MTC20C2085S1TC48BA1 is specified with CL40 latency.

CAS latency describes the number of memory clock cycles between a memory read command and the point at which the requested data begins to become available. Memory latency should always be considered together with memory frequency and the overall system memory architecture rather than evaluated independently.

For this module:

DDR5-4800 + CL40

provides a configuration designed around the standard DDR5-4800 performance profile.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

⚠️ This is not a standard desktop UDIMM or full-size server RDIMM.

Before purchasing, customers should verify the exact memory requirements of the target system.

The host platform must support:

DDR5 + SO-DIMM + 262-pin + 32GB capacity + 4800 MT/s

and, where applicable, the required ECC/x72 configuration.

Memory compatibility can also depend on the processor, motherboard firmware, memory-controller capabilities, maximum supported module capacity, number of installed modules, and system-specific memory population rules.

For best results, consult the system manufacturer’s memory compatibility documentation before installation.
