Rambus Inc announced that UMC of Taiwan is now offering Rambus's RaSer physical layer (PHY) cells for PCI Express applications to its foundry customers.
This partnership gives chip developers access to cost-effective, high-performance PCI Express-based interfaces. Additionally, Taiwan-based XGI Technology Inc is the first chip developer to license the new UMC RaSer PHY cell to drive its next-generation PC graphics products.
Through the new licensing agreement, UMC's customers can access Rambus's RaSer PHY. Rambus will provide complete characterization data and evaluation boards for any UMC-based test chips using the PHY cell. This Rambus RaSer PHY cell expands UMC's IP portfolio with additional PCI Express compatible capabilities.
The Rambus RaSer family of serial link cells is silicon-proven in 0.18-micron, 0.13-micron and 90-nanometer semiconductor process technologies. The RaSer PHY technology for PCI Express applications has been proven in systems, and is in development now in leading PC chipset, graphics, communication switch and bridge chip applications.
