NEC Develops 'Post-Rambus' High-Speed Interface Technology

February 7, 2001 (TOKYO) -- NEC Corp. said it has developed ultra high-speed LSI interface technologies that can transmit 10GB moving picture data, corresponding to two DVDs, as quickly as one second.

For the possibility of replacing the current Rambus technology with this new technology, "NEC expects it to be the post-Rambus technology," said Masao Fukuma, general manager of the Silicon Systems Research Laboratories, System Devices and Fundamental Research, NEC Laboratories.

Based on the new technology, every terminal of several circuit blocks is connected terminal by terminal, and 21 pairs of transmission/receiving circuits being connected through the interface terminals are operating in parallel. Here, each signal line has high-speed data-transmission of 2Gbps. To realize high-speed data transmission, most serious problems were to reduce the delay time being generated through the circuits and treatment of wave distortion. Those problems were overcome through the new technologies.

NEC plans to apply the new technologies for practical applications by the middle of 2002.

Toshiba will raise its monthly output of Rambus DRAMs to 8 million units, about 60% of the overall DRAM output, from 2.3 million by the end of September.

How is this possible if RDRAM is dead, dead, dead?
