MRDIMM DDR5 & DDR5/4 PHY & Controller

Overview

The DDR IP Mixed-Signal MRDIMM DDR5 PHY and DDR5/4 Combo PHY provide turnkey physical interface solutions for ICs requiring access to JEDEC compatible SDRAM or MRDIMM/ RDIMM/ LRDIMM/ UDIMM DDR5 devices. It is optimized for low-power and high-speed applications with robust timing and small silicon area. It supports all JEDEC DDR5/4 SDRAM components in the market. The PHY components contain DDR-specialized functional and utility high-performance I/Os, critical timing synchronization modules (TSM), and low power/jitter DLLs with programmable fine-grain control for any SDRAM interface.

The’s 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.
