Fujitsu and University of Toronto Develop World's First Digitally-Processed Gigabit-Class High-Speed Transceiver Chip Feb 10, 2010 10:59AM

Kawasaki, Japan, Feb 10, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and the University of Toronto today announced their joint development of a new processing method for transceiver chips used in gigabit-class(1) high-speed data transmission over wirelines. The new technology employs digital circuitry to replace previously-required structures that used analog circuits. While analog processing require circuits that are adapted to the specifications of a signal being transmitted, such as transmission distance and amplitude, this new digital approach can perform these optimizations automatically, so that a single circuit could be used to accommodate a wide range of various wireline communications. Compared to conventional processing methods, this new digital-processing method makes it possible to shorten development periods by approximately half. It is anticipated that this new technology in the future could be applied to a variety of wireline communication applications, including 10 Gbps high-speed Ethernet in datacenters.

Details of this technology were presented at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2010 (ISSCC 2010) being held in San Francisco from February 7-11. (Presentation number: 8.7)

Background and Technological Challenges

File size data volumes for large photographic, audio, and video files are becoming increasingly larger, thus requiring a significant amount of bandwidth to transmit, leading to demand for ever-faster wireline data communications. Conventional transceiver chips rely on analog circuitry which needs to be optimized to accommodate specifications of the signal being transmitted - such as transmission distance and amplitude - and therefore require multiple transceiver chips to be designed in order to accommodate for various applications.

With a growing diversity of devices featuring high-speed data transmission, the need to optimize an existing technology for every new type of device or model has become a bottleneck in the development process. Efforts to develop transceiver chips within short development periods that can accommodate the wide range of different devices have been proven challenging.

Newly-developed Technology

Fujitsu Laboratories and the University of Toronto have developed a digital circuit-based transceiver chip. Featuring digital circuitry, the new transceiver chip can automatically optimize itself for a variety of high-speed communications circuits, thus significantly reducing development periods by approximately half compared with conventional methods.

This technology detects variations in the delay on the time axis of the input signal, caused during data transmission, and based on that can automatically adjust the timing it uses for judging whether an incoming signal is a 0 or 1 (Figure 1). Since variations in data transmissions increase along with faster transmission speeds, this new technology is essential for accurate data exchange. This is the world's first technology to achieve Gbps-class speeds without the use of analog circuitry elements, while offering fully-digital timing adjustments for signal-determination.

Results

As a world's first, by using digital circuitry-based high-speed transceiver technology, Fujitsu Laboratories and the University of Toronto's new technology makes it possible to reduce the design and development period for a gigabit-class transceiver chip by approximately one-half (1/2) compared with conventional methods. This suggests that transceiver chips for a wide range of communications devices could be offered in a timely manner.

Future Developments

Fujitsu Laboratories and the University of Toronto will continue with development of this technology to optimize the digital signal processing, to further reduce the transceiver's power consumption.

Fujitsu and University of Toronto Develop High-Reliability Read-Method for Spin-Torque-Transfer MRAM Feb 10, 2010 10:54AM

Kawasaki, Japan, Feb 10, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and the University of Toronto today announced that they have jointly developed the world's first high-reliability read-method for use with spin-torque-transfer (STT) MRAM(1) that is insusceptible to erroneous writes. STT MRAM is regarded as a potential future form of non-volatile memory(2) that could be used as an alternative to flash memory. NOR flash memory that is embedded in microcontrollers widely used in mobile phones and other electronic devices is expected to reach the limits of its feasible miniaturization in the near future, which has led to the search for an alternative low-power non-volatile memory that will allow continued necessary miniaturization. By resolving one of the major obstacles to using STT MRAM, Fujitsu and the University of Toronto's new read-method marks a major step towards the practical implementation of STT MRAM as a necessary replacement for flash memory, in view of future requirements that will be necessary for compact and low-power electronic devices.

Details of this technology were presented at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2010 (ISSCC 2010) being held in San Francisco from February 7-11. (Presentation number: 14.1)

Background

Many electronic devices such as mobile phones or PDAs use microcontrollers with embedded flash memory, which allows onboard software to be rewritten. However, NOR flash memory used in such microcontrollers is nearing the physical limits of its miniaturization, which has led to research on various types of memory that could replace NOR flash memory.

STT MRAM, which uses magnetic materials as the memory storage element, is gaining attention as an emerging potential candidate to replace flash memory, as STT MRAM meets the needs for speed, low power consumption, and miniaturization that would make it a good candidate to replace flash memory.

Technological Challenges

STT MRAM uses memory storage elements that take advantage of the effect in which a current that is passed through a magnetic material - such as a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ)(3) - reverses its direction of magnetization (Figure 1). Passing a current through the MTJ causes its direction of magnetization to switch between a parallel or anti-parallel state, which has the effect of switching between low resistance and high resistance. Because this can be used to represent the 1s and 0s of digital information, STT MRAM can be used as a non-volatile memory.

Reading STT MRAM involves applying a voltage to the MTJ to discover whether the MTJ offers high resistance to current ("1") or low ("0"). However, a relatively high voltage needs to be applied to the MTJ to correctly determine whether its resistance is high or low, and the current passed at this voltage leaves little difference between the read-current and the write-current. Any fluctuation in the electrical characteristics of individual MTJs could cause what was intended as a read-current, to have the effect of a write-current, thus reversing the direction of magnetization of the MTJ.

Newly-developed Technology

In a joint collaboration, Fujitsu Laboratories and the University of Toronto have developed an innovative circuit design (Figure 3) that for the first time resolves the issue of erroneous writes in STT MRAM during read operations.

The newly developed read-method uses a negative resistance(4) that is intermediate between the MTJ's high resistance and low resistance on a parallel circuit (Figure 4). If the MTJ is in a high-resistance state, this circuit exhibits negative-resistance characteristics. If the MTJ is in a low-resistance state, then it exhibits normal-resistance characteristics. These characteristics allow the resistance value to be read at lower voltages than before, suppressing the tendency of the read operation to reverse the direction of magnetization and avoiding the problem of erroneous write operations.

Results

The development of this new read circuit with negative resistance has resulted in STT MRAM that is insusceptible to erroneous writes caused by fluctuations in the electrical characteristics of the MTJs. It is anticipated that the STT MRAM used as miniaturized non-volatile memory would enable greater high-performance in mobile phones and other electronic devices.

Future Developments

Fujitsu Laboratories and the University of Toronto plan to continue with R&D related to STT MRAM to strive toward practical implementation, such as lowering write currents and developing process technologies for further miniaturization.

Glossary and Notes

Preliminary Figures for 2009: Sartorius Group Increases Operating Profit Feb 10, 2010 04:15AM

    --  Biotechnology Division reports significant sales growth and jump in
        profit
    --  Mechatronics Division achieves turnaround and slightly positive
        operating earnings despite steep, recession-induced decline in sales
        revenue
    --  Group as a whole achieves higher operating earnings than a year ago and
        strong, operating cash flow
    --  In 2010, both Group divisions expect growth in sales revenue and profit

GOETTINGEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today Sartorius, a leading international process and laboratory technology provider, released its preliminary unaudited figures for fiscal 2009. In the reporting period, business in both Group divisions showed substantially divergent trajectories. The Biotechnology Division, which contributes a good two thirds to consolidated sales, reported dynamic growth and attained a new level in operating profit. By contrast, the Mechatronics Division posted sales and earnings development that was severely impacted by the global downturn. Nevertheless, this division achieved a turnaround during the course of the year and closed 2009 with positive operating earnings. For the Group, operating profit was higher than a year ago, despite the difficult economic climate. Cash flows from operating activities rose by more than two and a half times compared with the year-earlier figure. For 2010, management expects sales revenue and profit to increase in both Divisions.

Business Development of the Divisions

Sartorius Stedim Biotech

The Biotechnology Division, which operates under the name of Sartorius Stedim Biotech (SSB), increased its sales revenue in the reporting period by 9.4% from 366.0 million euros to 400.4 million euros (currency-adjusted: 8.3%). Order intake also considerably jumped 11.5% from 367.1 million euros to 409.2 million euros (currency-adjusted: 10.3%). Again, double-digit growth rates generated by the company's business with single-use products for the biopharmaceutical industry substantially fueled this growth. In the reporting year, this business gained added momentum from vaccine manufacturers who significantly drove up demand for single-use bags and filters used in the production of the vaccine against the H1N1 virus. This effect contributed around two percentage points to growth. As expected, business with large-scale bioreactor systems, by contrast, slightly declined, but saw positive momentum as of the second half of the year.

Regarding regional distribution of sales revenue, all business regions with their significantly positive growth rates contributed to the successful development of sales. North America achieved the highest growth, where sales were up 18.1% (currency-adjusted: 11.6%), followed by Asia|Pacific, with sales up 7.8% (currency-adjusted: 4.7%), and Europe, up 5.1% (currency-adjusted: 6.5%).

This strong sales development is also reflected by the Biotechnology Division's earnings. Its earnings before interest, taxes and amortization, which were adjusted for special items (underlying EBITA or operating earnings), showed substantial overproportionate improvement, surging 51.5% to 60.2 million euros. In the year-earlier period, underlying earnings were at 39.7 million euros. The corresponding EBITA margin rose from 10.9% to 15.0% and thus marks a new level. Besides the uplift in sales volume, the division's enhanced product mix and stringent cost management were decisive for this boost in profitability.

Sartorius Mechatronics

Amid a climate of pronounced reluctance to invest shared by nearly all customer sectors, the Mechatronics Division reported a steep decline in demand for its products in the reporting year. This impacted its business with industrial weighing and control equipment slightly more than its business with laboratory instruments. By contrast, service business proved to be robust. Compared with a year ago, the division's sales revenue dropped 17.9% from 245.6 million euros to 201.7 million euros (currency-adjusted: -19.3%). At 205.9 million euros, order intake also was down 15.2% from 242.7 million euros a year earlier (currency-adjusted: -16.6%). Following an especially steep plunge in first-half demand, business indicated initial signs of recovery at year-end. The regional pattern shows that the division's decline in revenue was somewhat less pronounced in Asia|Pacific at a minus of 8.2% (currency-adjusted: -12.7%) than in the North American regions (-14.4%; currency-adjusted: -19.1%) and Europe (-22.4%; currency-adjusted -21.7%).

Despite the drop in sales, the Mechatronics Division posted slightly positive operating earnings of 0.7 million euros (previous year: 17.1 million euros). This increase was due to an extensive restructuring program, which was implemented in the reporting year to adapt the division's structures to the changed market conditions and which reduced its annual cost base by a good 30 million euros. The division's underlying EBITA margin was 0.4% compared with 7.0% for the year-earlier period.

Business Development of the Sartorius Group

At Group level, the excellent development of the Biotechnology Division's business compensated for the recession-induced losses in the Mechatronics Division for the most part. Consolidated sales revenue in 2009 was 602.1 million euros compared with 611.6 million euros a year ago, and therefore eased only slightly by 1.6% (currency-adjusted: -2.7%) relative to the previous reporting period. At 615.1 million euros, order intake was slightly above the year-earlier figure of 609.8 million euros (0.9%; currency-adjusted: -0.4%).

On account of the Biotechnology Division's significant rise in profitability, consolidated operating earnings even rose 7.2% from 56.8 million euros to 60.9 million euros. The corresponding earnings margin climbed from 9.3% to 10.1%. Extraordinary expenses, which are predominantly comprised of provisions for the restructuring program in the Mechatronics Division, totaled 30.0 million euros. Unadjusted consolidated EBITA was 30.9 million euros (previous year: 56.8 million euros).

The Group's relevant net profit - underlying consolidated net profit after minority interest without the two non-cash items of amortization and interest for share price warrants - was also slightly up from 18.2 million euros a year ago, at 20.8 million euros; this equates to earnings per share of 1.22 euros, up from 1.07 euros in the previous year. In particular, due to the significant restructuring charges in the Mechatronics Division the unadjusted consolidated net profit after minority interest amounts to -7.3 million euros (12.4 million euros).

Moreover, in the reporting year Sartorius posted a significant increase in operating cash flow. Because of strong operating profit, stringent management of working capital and the factoring program implemented in middle of the reporting year, operating cash flow surged from 53.0 million euros to 143.4 million euros.

Outlook

For the Biotechnology Division, management expects to achieve sales growth in the upper single-digit range in 2010. This increase is forecasted to comprise strong growth for single-use products and moderate growth for its equipment business. As additional business with the vaccine industry is not anticipated and equipment business is likely to contribute a relatively high percentage to sales growth, the division's operating EBITA margin expected to rise rather slightly.

For the Mechatronics Division, which is more strongly dependent upon business cycles, management assumes that despite the persistent uncertainty about economic development, there will be a slight upturn. Against this backdrop, currency-adjusted sales growth is expected in the lower single-digit percentage range. Given the division's significantly reduced cost base as a result of extensive restructuring measures, its operating EBITA margin should reach about 5%.

For the entire Group, management accordingly expects sales growth in constant currencies to be slightly above 5% and its operating EBITA margin to continue to improve by one to two percentage points. Furthermore, management anticipates a significantly positive operating cash flow.

The numbers mentioned above are still subject to final review by the auditors. The final figures will be announced at the annual press conference on March 9, 2010.
