BusinessWire, Monday, October 04, 1999 at 08:06
MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 1999--Orologic, Inc.,
a fabless semiconductor company that designs, develops, and markets
application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for sale to network
equipment vendors, today announced that are using two 800MHz Rambus(R)
Channels in their next generation network processing core product.
"The use of the Rambus interfaces allows us to significantly
reduce the total system cost without sacrificing functionality or
performance," said Raif Onvural, president of OroLogic, Inc.
Orologic will offer the industry's only single chip cell/packet
switching solution with OC-48 (2.4Gbit/sec) data throughput and true
QoS guarantees.
"The increase in bandwidth Rambus technology provides will enable
a new generation of high performance packet processing ICs from
leading edge companies like OroLogic," stated Subodh Toprani, vice
president and general manager, Rambus Inc.
Rambus technology enables the DRAM industry's highest level of
performance to date - 1.6 gigabytes per second of peak bandwidth from
a single device and will span multiple generations of DRAM devices
(through 1 Gbit densities.) The Rambus DRAMs deliver the highest
bandwidth from a single memory device from a low pin-count interface,
and at reasonable power dissipation levels. Designed for high volume
applications, RDRAM devices use conventional DRAM cores and silicon
fabrication techniques.
