LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND--(Marketwired - January 14, 2016) - Kandou Bus will present a paper at DesignCon 2016 that will propose a method for increasing the useful channel spectrum in a multi-drop bus. In a presentation by Ali Hormati, Research Engineer, Kandou will introduce a signaling scheme that delivers significantly more bandwidth than conventional single-ended and differential methods.
"Traditionally, capacity on a multi-drop channel has been limited by reflections that attenuate the main signal," said Amin Shokrollahi, CEO and Founder of Kandou Bus. "MDC Signaling enables the transmission to jump over this notch and take greater advantage of the total frequency spectrum."
MDC Signaling™ Offers Significant System-level Architectural Advantages
Multi-Drop Chord Signaling ™ ("MDC Signaling") was architected to address the need for growing bandwidth in NAND-based SSD systems where a controller must communicate with many NAND die, or in DDRx multidrop architectures. The increased capacity offered by MDC Signaling allows system architects and chip designers to contemplate systems with much higher NAND or DDRx capacity.
MDC is based on a unique concept whereby the spectrum of a transmitted signal is shaped to match the frequency response of the given channel. Since the signal spectrum now has a notch at a similar frequency to the channel, the useful channel spectrum after the notch can be used advantageously. MDC can be combined with other existing signaling techniques like single-ended, differential and Chord Signaling™ to further improve signal integrity and lower power.
