Abstract :
1 TB/s 1 pJ/b 6.4 mm2 /TB/s QDR inductive-coupling interface between 65-nm complementary metal-oxide-semicon ductor (CMOS) logic and emulated 100-nm dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is developed. BER <;10-10 operation is examined in 1024-bit parallel links. Compared to the latest wired 40-nm DRAM interface, the bandwidth is increased to 32×, and the energy consumption and the layout area are reduced to 1/8 and 1/22, respectively.
