Refurbished DDR3 and DDR3L Memory Chips
DDR3 SDRAM is a double-data-rate memory generation that is now end-of-life at the major manufacturers but still designed into routers, set-top boxes, printers, medical and industrial equipment. AURCAL sources DDR3 and DDR3L chips to order, then inspects, reballs where needed, tests and burns them in at its Shenzhen base.
- We source DDR3 / DDR3L to order and state the condition on every quote.
- Parts are inspected, reballed where needed, tested and burned in at our Shenzhen base.

What is the difference between DDR3 and DDR3L?
DDR3L is the low-voltage version of DDR3. DDR3 runs from a 1.5 V supply and DDR3L from 1.35 V. Many DDR3L parts also tolerate 1.5 V, but a DDR3 part is not guaranteed to run safely at 1.35 V, so match the voltage your board provides and the exact part number.
How do I choose a DDR3 replacement?
Match the full part number including the suffix first. If that is not possible, compare density, organization (x8 or x16), speed grade, voltage, package (78-ball or 96-ball FBGA are common) and temperature range with the datasheet of the original part. Do not rely on the base number alone.
Why is DDR3 hard to buy?
The major manufacturers have moved capacity to newer generations, so supply comes from remaining stock and the secondary market. That is why exact-match, tested and documented parts matter.
Key differences
| Generation | Supply voltage | Typical data rates |
|---|---|---|
| DDR3 | 1.5 V | 800 to 2133 Mbps |
| DDR3L | 1.35 V (many parts also support 1.5 V) | 800 to 2133 Mbps |
