Media Alert - Rambus To Demonstrate High-speed Interface Technologies and Architectures At DesignCon 2007

LOS ALTOS, California, United States  - 01/29/2007  

Join Rambus at DesignCon 2007 to learn more about the advanced XDR™ memory architecture and its most recent implementation in the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Rambus demos, displays and presentations include:

Rambus Demos and Displays

• XDR™ memory architecture, a differential memory system solution with data rates ranging from 3.2-8.0 GHz. Technology demonstration at 3.2Gbps data rate with FlexPhase™ circuit technology calibration and Octal Data Rate (ODR) read/write operation.
• FlexIO™ processor bus, the industry's fastest processor bus solution offering data rates of 400 MHz to 8.0 GHz, while reducing overall package, board, and system costs.
• DDR technology performing memory transactions to and from a DDR2 device operating at 800Mbps (400MHz clock).
• Rambus Gen2 solution, compliant with PCI Express®* base specification, revision 0.5, with transfer rates up to 5Gbps. Silicon proven technology demonstration includes transaction, data link and PHY layers.
• LabStation™ bring-up, debug and characterization tool combines the best in hardware, software and test methodology to enable rapid automated system testing of silicon and board to measure system margin, thereby improving yields and time-to-market.
