Rambus XDR memory to run Cypress clock generators

Rambus Inc., a provider of chip-to-chip interface products and services, has selected Cypress Semiconductor Corp. to provide XDR clock generators (XCGs) for its next-generation XDR memory systems.

Cypress' programmable clock generators providing the necessary timing circuits to support Rambus XDR memory subsystems, is scheduled to be available for sampling in Q4 2003. The clock generator incorporates four differential clock drivers in a 28-pin TSSOP device that reduces the overall memory subsystem chip count and allows for smaller PCB area for PC graphics, consumer electronics, and networking systems.
