The Hindu Business Line : Rambus opens design centre

RAMBUS, the chip interface company, announced the opening of its new design centre in Bangalore with plans to hire 50 people for its mixed signal technologies.

"The centre will better serve the growing customer base in Asia - especially Taiwan and Japan - and the people will work on repeatable cells and cores designed for multiple process technologies," said Mr Geoff Tate, Chairman. About half our design inputs are for customers in Asia, Mr Tate said, adding that the India centre would soon be 20 per cent of the company's total headcount.

"Rambus engineering teams in Bangalore will focus primarily on development of additional PHYs and cores based on the company's technologies, including work in industry-standard designs such as PCI Express, Fibre channel, Serial ATA and DDR2memory controller designs," said Mr Samir Patel, General Manager.

"The talent pool in India and the proximity to our Asian markets convinced us about the location, Mr Tate said, adding that the presence in the country would enable it to get its foundry-based interface designs to more customers, especially in Taiwan, cost-efficiently.

Rambus, which made revenues of $140 million last year, specialises and licenses high-speed chip interfaces to semiconductor companies.
