About Rambus

Rambus develops memory interface technology, the circuits and protocols that move data between processors and memory. It licenses designs such as memory controllers and PHYs, the physical layer circuits that drive the signal wires, and it also sells memory interface chips for server modules. Its early RDRAM memory was used in the Nintendo 64 console. Rambus was founded in March 1990 by Mike Farmwald and Mark Horowitz and is headquartered in San Jose, California. It also offers security IP that protects chips from tampering.

What Rambus works on

Custom Silicon

Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.

ASICs

An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.

Memory & Storage

Memory and storage hold the data that processors work on. Memory such as DRAM is fast and loses its contents when power is removed. Storage such as flash (NAND) is slower, cheaper per bit and keeps data without power.
