OPTICAL INTERCONNECT IN HIGH-SPEED MEMORY SYSTEMS

摘要

A optical link for achieving electrical isolation between a controller and a memory device is disclosed. The optical link increases the noise immunity of electrical interconnections, and allows the memory device to be placed a greater distance from the processor than is conventional without power-consuming I/O buffers.
