Some alternatives to Rambus, for engineers who want to put a lot of memory in a small, relatively cheap package: Multichip BGA for graphics, video control April 05, 1999 San Jose, Calif. - Silicon Motion's graphics/video controllers combine its display technology with off-the-shelf memory in multichip ball-grid arrays. The LynxEM houses a graphics controller and two 32-bit-wide synchronous graphics RAMs and is a pin-compatible alternative to embedded RAM. The 256-pin BGA comes in 2- and 4-Mbyte versions. It starts at $27.95 in 10,000-piece lots. techweb.com techweb.com I hope nobody is so silly as to argue that the above design doesn't count as a failure by Rambus to take a design win. These guys combined static and dynamic in one package. Memory added to TI DSPs July 26, 1999 The EDI9LC644V-BC combines 128k x 32 of 133-MHz synchronous SRAM and 1M x 32 of 100-MHz synchronous DRAM in a 153-pin BGA package. The parts are priced at $40* in quantities of 10,000.* techweb.com For those who need high bandwidth in a small package, and might also wish a pretty good sized memory, the following provides a x64 memory in one package. Four 64-Mbit DRAMs put in BGA June 14, 1999 four 64-Mbit DRAMs with a footprint that's about 18 percent larger than a standard 64-Mbit DRAM package. samples about $248 techweb.com -- Carl
