Rambus Speaking Engagements:
Title: Future Challenges for Server Memory in Datacenter and
Enterprise Systems
Date: Monday, October 26, 2015
Time:
8:15 – 9 am PT
Topic: Big data and escalating demands on IT
are creating an explosion of data and real-time processing requirements
that are fueling the need for increased memory speed and capacity across
datacenters and enterprise systems. As the industry evolves to meet
these needs, there are key challenges in DDR4 memory design that must be
addressed. This session will discuss the future fundamental challenges
in DDR4 and post-DDR4 that can enable systems to achieve maximum data
rates and capacity cost-effectively.
Speaker: Ely Tsern, VP,
Chief Technologist, Memory and Interfaces Division, Rambus Inc.
Title: IBIS-AMI Modelling of High-Speed Memory Interfaces (Poster
Presentation)
Date: Monday, October 26, 2015
Time:
4:30 - 6 pm PT
Topic: This paper presents techniques to
accelerate the exploration of advanced memory links through IBIS-AMI
modelling of the transmitter and receiver. The results show over 1000x
CPU time speed improvement compared to full transistor level SPICE
simulations while providing a fair representation of the interface
performance. To demonstrate the versatility the IBIS-AMI for memory
interfaces, data transmission at 2.4 Gbps and 6.4 Gbps, over the same
multidrop channel with different equalization features, are presented.
Speakers:
Arash Zargaran-Yazd and John Yan, Signal Integrity Engineers, Rambus Inc.
Title: Voltage and Time Margin Analysis for Wireline Links in
High Dimensional Design Spaces
Date: Wednesday, October 28,
2015
Time: 9 – 10 am PT
Topic: Evaluating the
time and voltage margin (vtMargin) of a wireline link across all
possible corner cases is deemed unfeasible using time -domain methods.
Statistical methods provide estimates at a fraction of time, at the
potential cost of accuracy and neglecting the nonlinear behaviors of
various link elements. We present a methodology to calculate the
vtMargin of memory and serial links in a time-efficient manner while
considering nonlinear behaviors of active blocks. Using a small initial
dataset, regression analysis is performed to find multi-variable
multi-order equations, which are then exhaustively evaluated across all
possible combinations of corner cases to find a more comprehensive
histogram representing the margin spread in the link.

Title: Return Loss Characterization and Analysis of High-Speed
Serial Interface
Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2015
Time:
9 – 10 am PT
Topic: This paper describes the return loss
characterization and analysis of a high-speed serial interface with
T-coils at the transmitter and receiver. Today’s high-speed links
utilize equalization to mitigate channel loss and dispersion. In
addition, T-coil networks are used at inputs and outputs to improve
impedance matching and to enhance the receiver and transmitter
bandwidth. To guarantee the transceiver performance, a wide range of
Serializer Deserializer (SerDes) compliance specifications exist for the
return loss measured at or near the package interface and the Printed
Circuit Board (PCB). For multi-protocol SerDes, thus, T-coil networks
are often necessary to meet the most stringent return loss
specification. This paper presents the analysis and characterization of
a high-speed transceiver with T-coils designed in a 28 nm CMOS
process. Measurements are also presented to demonstrate the improvement
in return loss and bandwidth of the transceiver.

Director, Hai Lan, Senior Manager, Signal Integrity Engineering, Rambus
Inc., and Nikhil Vaidya, Circuit Design Engineer, Rambus Inc.
