A 2.6-GByte/s megacell that interfaces to single or double byte wide D
RAM's or logic chips is implemented using 0.35-0.18-mu m CMOS technolo
gies. Special I/O circuits are used to guarantee 800-Mbit/s/pin data r
ate. Microwave PC board design methodologies are used to achieve the m
aximum possible interconnect bandwidth.
