Denali Controller for DDR

Overview

LPDDR5/4X/4/3 and DDR5/4/3L/3, to 6400Mbps and beyond

The Cadence Denali Controller IP for LPDDR5/4X/4/3 and DDR5/4/3L/3 provides low latency and up to 5500Mbps throughput, while supporting extensive value-added features including, but not limited to, reliability features. Developed by experienced teams with industry-leading domain expertise and validated with multiple hardware platforms, the Controller IP is silicon proven and can provide customers with ease of integration and faster time to market. The Controller IP is engineered to quickly and easily integrate into any system-on-chip (SoC), and is verified with the Denali DDR PHY IP as part of a complete memory subsystem solution which also includes Cadence Verification IP (VIP). The Controller IP is designed to connect seamlessly and work with a third-party, DFI-compliant DDR PHY IP. The Controller IP is developed and validated to reduce risk for the customer, so that their SoC can be first-time right. Developed for and available in alignment with the PHY IP on advanced semiconductor process nodes, the Controller IP is designed to be robust under various traffic loads and to have interoperability with various supplier memory chips. The Controller IP is part of the comprehensive Cadence Design IP portfolio comprised of interface, Denali memory interface, analog, and systems and peripherals IP.
