GDDR6X/6 Combo PHY & Controller

Overview

The GDDR6X/6 PHY is fully compliant with the JEDEC GDDR6X/6 standard, supporting data rates of up to 20Gbps per pin for PAM2 GDDR6 mode and 24Gbps for PAM4 GDDR6X mode. The GDDR6X/6 interface supports 2 channels, each with 16 bits for a total data width of 32 bits per memory device. With a maximum speed of 20/24Gbps per pin, The GDDR6X/6 Combo PHY delivers a peak bandwidth of up to 80GB/s or 96GB/s per memory device. Designed for advanced FinFET process nodes, this PHY is optimized for seamless integration into cutting-edge applications.

The comprehensive product portfolio also includes full GDS delivery, signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI) analysis, verification models, prototyping support, and simulation tools. These offerings empower customers to accelerate development cycles, ensure robust performance, and stay ahead in the competitive landscape of high-performance memory solutions.
