mishedlo, the transfer of data on both edges of a clock IS a decades old idea, and it WAS implemented decades ago.

The problem is DDR DRAM is NOT only "the both edges of the clock idea", but it is a total system design, albeit poorly done, that uses a lot of other ideas. Many of those "other" ideas infringe upon Rambus patents. And, without those "Rambus Patented Ideas", it just would not work at all.

The name DDR implies "both edges of the clock". But that is only the name.

Re: Show us the link that anyone has a patent on DDR before RMBS

The patents would have expired a long time ago. I think you are confusing DDR DRAM and DDR as a concept. Rambus certainly didn't patent DDR DRAM and, even if they did sneak a patent on standalone DDR past someone, it will never be successfully enforced. DDR has been around since the dawn of the digital age. It probably predates transistors.
