Rambus Inc. has given IBM a license to use its XDR memory controller interface cell,
dubbed XIO.
This agreement enables IBM to provide an advanced, high-speed design for
high-performance consumer applications utilizing its 90-nm ASIC process.
The XIO cell from Rambus is a high-performance, low-latency controller interface to
XDR DRAM memory sub-systems. The CMOS macro cell can be seamlessly integrated into a
wide variety of target processes. It provides a wide, on-chip, CMOS-level signaling
interface to the memory controller logic and a narrow, high-speed Differential Rambus
Signaling Level (DRSL) interface to the external XDR memory system.
"Rambus has a long history of designing and delivering very high speed, advanced
interface designs that have been broadly used in the industry," said Tom Reeves, vice
president of IBM's Semiconductor Products and Solutions, in a statement. "We have
worked with them on several projects and are pleased to build upon our existing
relationship with this new agreement." |
