NEC'S ASSISTANCE AND OBLIGATIONS. 3.1. NEC shall cooperate with Rambus to complete the development contemplated by this Supplement. NEC will be responsible for characterization of the Transceiver, any modifications necessary to achieve a functional device, and any modifications necessary to achieve mass production capability. Upon completion of the design of the Transceiver, Rambus will provide to NEC test fixture information and test vectors for the Transceiver for the HP83000 tester which are sufficient for the evaluation of the initial design.
NEC'S ASSISTANCE AND OBLIGATIONS. 4.1. By March 15, 1995 NEC will provide to Rambus preliminary layout design rules, as well as transistor spice models and process characteristics, for the NEC Process Technology. If NEC elects to proceed pursuant to Section 3.1 above, then NEC will provide to Rambus final layout design rules and transistor models for the NEC process by December 15, 1995 or as soon as available. NEC acknowledges that any delay in providing these items to Rambus may result in a delay in the schedule specified in Sections 2 and 3 above. If the process characteristics for the NEC Process Technology provided to Rambus by NEC are incompatible with achievement of the target specifications developed by Rambus pursuant to Section 2.1 above, then NEC and Rambus agree that they will use best efforts to jointly agree to modifications of the target specifications, the NEC Process Technology, or a combination of both as necessary to achieve compatibility.
NEC'S ASSISTANCE AND OBLIGATIONS. 3.1. NEC will make the core modifications required for the Rambus-2 DRAM to Rambus' specification. NEC will implement the layout database for the Rambus-2 DRAM in its process, working from the information contained in the Rambus-2 Implementation Package provided by Rambus. NEC will carry out timing simulation of the Rambus-2 DRAM interface. NEC will assign and maintain a design team of appropriate size and skills to perform these tasks, starting at a time adequate to meet the schedule target in Section 3.2 below.
NEC'S ASSISTANCE AND OBLIGATIONS. 3.1. NEC agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to develop and fully characterize Rambus Products which incorporate full-specification Rambus-2 RACs, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to ship production quantities of Rambus Products which incorporate full-specification Rambus-2 RACs during 1998 or 1999.
