Rambus Picks Verigy V93000 HSM Series for Testing Memory Devices
CUPERTINO, CA, February 25, 2008
Verigy (NASDAQ: VRGY), a semiconductor test company, has announced that Rambus (NASDAQ: RMBS), a leader in high-speed memory architectures, has selected the
Verigy V93000 HSM Series for advanced testing of its XDR Memory Architecture. Proven in high-volume and cost-competitive applications, XDR enables the vivid, true-to-life experience demanded by serious gamers and delivers state-of-the-art image processing performance for the next generation of HDTVs.
The Verigy V93000 HSM Series is the fastest memory tester available with at-speed I/O, at-speed memory core test performance, and software tools that enable Rambus to characterize the performance of its memory devices. The V93000 HX high-speed card extends the performance range of the scalable V93000 HSM Series to 12.8 Gb/s.
The XDR interface represents the next step in high-bandwidth interfaces for gaming, multicore computing, and other consumer electronics applications. The XDR product family provides the capability to scale data rates beyond 8.0 GHz and will provide chip and system designers with the features they need to achieve the highest performance using the fewest number of controller pins and DRAM devices.
