Rambus India High-Speed I/O Design Team Achieves First Silicon Success; TSMC 90nm PCI Express* 2.5Gbps design fully characterized and compliant to specification
Los Altos, California, United States - November 20, 2006 -- Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS), one of the world's premier technology licensing companies specializing in high-speed chip interfaces, today announced it has released the first physical layer (PHY) high-speed interface design from its Bangalore India Design Center. Based on Rambus’ proven high-speed PHY architecture, the PCI Express* design is optimized for TSMC’s 90nm process node and fully functional in silicon with all necessary tests checked at its maximum data rate of 2.5GHz. The silicon sample meets characterization across voltage and temperature ranges in compliance with the PCI-SIG® specification.
“Mixed-signal designs continue to present one of the most challenging design environments and this accomplishment of first-pass silicon success underscores the India team’s competencies in this area,” said Prakash Bare, managing director at Rambus India. “The Rambus Bangalore team has established itself as a provider of first-class engineering solutions that include design and verification, as well as chip tape-out, bring-up, and characterization.”
The Rambus Bangalore Design Center was established in March 2005 to serve Rambus’ growing customer base in Asia and to strengthen the company’s global presence. The state-of-the-art facility implements technically-advanced designs of high-speed interface cells and cores designed for multiple process technologies.
