Denni,

Thanks for the welcome. I have been lurking here for a year now and finally decided to pay up!

My work involves ultra-low power consumption wearable devices using the Texas Instruments TMS320C54x family (soon to operate at 1.2V). Programs and data reside in on-chip static RAM with occasional accesses to flash eprom, so I don't have any direct experience of DRDRAM.

However, I have spent enough hours probing circuits with a high speed digital oscilloscope to recognise that transmission-line technology such as that used by Rambus is the only way of increasing data rates across printed circuit boards substantially beyond those currently available. This is the most important reason why I am optimistic about the long-term prospects of the company.

I did recently ask Texas Instruments when they intended to support Rambus in the TMS320C6000 family, for which it seems perfectly suited, but the person just smiled and said nothing.

John
