Terabyte bandwidth initiative architectural considerations for next-generation memory systems

This article consists of a collection of slides from the author's conference presentation. Summary: 1TB/sec memory systems can be realized using these technology elements. Fully Differential Memory Architecture removes existing C/A performance bottleneck. FlexLink™ C/A allows: • Significantly reduced controller pin overhead • Scalable capacity • Flexible access granularity options. Signaling rates of 16Gbps have been achieved by leveraging: • Jitter reduction technology • Asymmetric equalization • Enhanced FlexPhase™ calibration.
