# Industrial Specification: Memory Controller IC

## 1. Technical Definition
Integrated circuit that manages data flow between the processor and memory modules

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **1.0-1.35 V (core voltage), 0-105°C (junction temperature), 800-3200 MT/s (data rate)**. Failure boundary: **1.45 V (electromigration threshold), 125°C (thermal runaway threshold), 3500 MT/s (signal integrity collapse)**, Mechanism: **Electromigration at &gt;1.45V due to high current density (Black's equation: MTF ∝ J⁻ⁿ exp(Eₐ/kT)), thermal runaway from self-heating at &gt;125°C junction temperature, intersymbol interference at &gt;3500 MT/s violating eye diagram margins**.
