richard,

The first line is a pretty good start:

The Direct Rambus? ASIC Cell (Direct RAC) is a library macrocell used in ASIC designs to interface the core logic of a CMOS ASIC device to a high-speed Direct Rambus Channel.

When someone's designing an ASIC (a custom chip) the design for the interface to RDRAM is a "building block" that can be dropped right into the design and, voila, your ASIC can talk to RDRAM memory. Or so I've been told by my buddy that designs ASICs. He might have simplified it a little for the ASIC-impaired. <G>

I think that most of the ASIC companies (TI, etc.) have worked with Rambus to develop the RACs.
