Researchers are able to translate information in light to vibrations of the membrane inside a quantum drum and back. Credit: Julian Robinson-Tait Researchers at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute have developed a new way to create quantum memory: A small drum can store data sent with light in its sonic vibrations, and then […]
RC32312 and RC32308 “provide phase noise and jitter required to meet the needs of 112Gbit/s as well as 224Gbit/s SerDes designs using commonly-available 48MHz to 73MHz crystals”, claimed the company. “The devices can generate up to four frequency domains and offer integrated low-drop regulators with superior power supply rejection.” Clocks are available with 50fs rms […]
The Chips Act has set aside approximately $54 million for research projects for measurement services, tools, and instrumentation; innovative manufacturing metrologies; novel assurance and provenance technologies and advanced metrology R&D testbeds. In September 2022, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published a report titled Strategic Opportunities for U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing, which identifies […]
The massive growth that the data center GPU and AI ASIC market experienced in 2023 is expected to continue in 2024 before stabilising in 2025. Generative AI’s rise since late 2022 has boosted demand for high-speed memory technologies, including DDR5 DRAM, GDDR6 DRAM, etc., as well as HBM . Thanks to strong momentum in GPUs […]
