Texas Instruments has selected Integrated Device Technology’s (IDT’s) CPS-1616 RapidIO Gen2 switch for its new TMDXEVM6616 evaluation module (EVM) for wireless base stations.
RapidIO delivers the efficiency and software scalability for clustering large numbers of digital signal processors (DSPs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) on boards and over backplanes for wireless systems.
The IDT CPS-1616 belongs to IDT’s extensive portfolio of RapidIO Gen2 switches, supporting up to 20 Gbps per link for use as a chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and chassis-to-chassis interconnect. RapidIO enables OEMs in the 4G wireless and industrial markets to design embedded systems with clusters of DSPs that communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion while also providing high reliability, very low 100ns cut through latency, and simplified system memory maps.http://www.idt.com/go/S-RIO

You just read about Texas Instruments. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
National Semiconductor built Analog integrated circuits, power management, data converters and interface devices. What became of it?
National Semiconductor brought Analog integrated circuits, power management, data converters and interface devices to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Texas Instruments for US$6.5B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Texas Instruments today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
