Proximity_Communication

Proximity Communication Sun Microsystems Inc. has created a new type of communication which could ultimately spell the end of the integrated circuit board. This new technology is called proximity communication; this was presented by Sun Labs researcher, Robert Drost to the Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Custom Integrated Circuits Conference yesterday in San Jose. Proximity communication is based on the same principles of that of a capacitor. A capacitor is made up of two oppositely charged pieces of metal that are separated by an insulator. They are used in almost all electronic devices. Proximity communication is the transferring of data between chips without using the pins and wires that today’s computers have. This is able to be done by coupling capacitors together. If the capacitors are close enough together the data can be sent from one capacitor to another with out the communication, proximity, technology, new, data, components, wires, sun, integrated, computer, capacitor, transfer, together, microsystems, made, go, circuits, capacitors, bottleneck, between, before, able, yesterday, without, ways, way, volume, using, until, ultimately, type, two, tubes, transferring, transferred
