Rambus, a designer of various memory and interface technologies, has announced the development of a fast power-on, low-power clocking technology that can enable a whole new class of memory devices. The new technology enables 5Gb/s+ data transfer speeds with minimal power consumption.

Implemented in a 40nm low-power CMOS process, this technology is capable of transitioning from a zero-power idle state to a 5Gb/s+ data transfer rate in 5ns while achieving active power of only 2.4mW/Gb/s.
