Rambus to Demonstrate High-Performance, Low-Power Memory Technologies at Mobile World Congress Mobile World Congress 2009

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS):

Who: Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS)

Where: Mobile World Congress, Booth #7A57 Fira de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

When: February 16-19, 2009

Join Rambus at Mobile World Congress 2009 for a silicon test demonstration of its recently announced Mobile Memory Initiative. This development effort focuses on high-bandwidth, low-power memory technologies targeted at achieving data rates of 4.3Gbps at best-in-class power efficiency. With this performance, designers could realize more than 17GB/s of memory bandwidth from a single mobile DRAM device.

Rambus has combined its high-bandwidth expertise with power-efficient signaling technology to create key innovations for its Mobile Memory Initiative, such as:

* Very Low-Swing Differential Signaling — combines the robust signaling qualities of a differential architecture with innovative circuit techniques to greatly reduce active power consumption;
* FlexClocking™ Architecture — a clock-forwarded and clock-distributed topology, enables high-speed operation and a simplified DRAM interface; and
* Advanced Power State Management — in conjunction with the FlexClocking architecture, provides fast switching times between power-saving modes and delivers optimized power efficiency across a diverse range of usage profiles.
