| RapidIO architecture renders overall performance
|
2000-12-01 |
| For the past several years, bridged hierarchies of buses have been used to connect processors and peripherals on circuit boardsPCI is a good example. But the system performance provided by such hierarchies has little room to grow, and every modification presents additional design problems. For example, widening the bus increases skew, which in turn reduces the maximum possible frequency; more pins are needed for additional signals, resulting in higher costs. |
