DDR3/2 PHY

Overview

The DDR3/2 PHY is a complete mixed-signal IP solution designed to provide DDR 3/2 SDRAM connectivity in a System-On-a-Chip (SOC) design targeted to a specific fabrication process. The DDR3/2 PHY supports a range of DDR3 SDRAM speeds, from DDR3-667 through DDR3-1600, with backward compatibility provided for DDR2-667 through DDR2-1066 devices. Targeted toward supporting x8 and x16 DDR3 SDRAM components, DDR3/2 PHY supports interfaces of varying widths, from a minimum of 8 bits wide, in 8-bit increments. Delivered to customers as hardened IP components— Address/Command, DATX8, and SSTL I/O Library—implementations of the DDR3/2 PHY are compatible with JEDEC DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAMs, helping ensure customer success.

Key Features

  • ? DDR2/DDR3/DDR3U/DDR3L/LVCMOS operating modes
  • ? Compatible with JEDEC standard DDR2/DDR3/DDR3U/DDR3L SDRAMs
  • ? Scalable performance from DDR2-667 through DDR3-1600
  • ? Maximum controller clock frequency of 400MHz resulting in maximum SDRAM data rate of 1600 Mbps
  • ? Data path width scales in 8-bit increments
  • ? Delivery of product as hardened IP components allows precise control of timing critical delay and skew paths
  • ? Includes embedded PLL and DDLs necessary to meet timing specifications
  • ? Multiple memory-rank support, up to four ranks
  • ? DDR3 PHY-Controller interface runs at 1/4 the memory baud rate, simplifying core logic timing constraints
  • ? Write leveling delay line (WLDL) to compensate address and control versus data delays of up to 1 clock cycle or 2500ps
  • ? Write and read bit delay lines (BDLs) compensate per-bit delay skew of up to 600ps at fast PVT; delay resolution approximately 15ps under typical conditions
  • ? Locally calibrated master and slave delay lines minimize OCV and ACLV effects, and accommodate V, T timing drift; delay resolution approximately 15ps under typical conditions
  • ? At-speed loopback testing on both the address and data channels
  • ? Delay line oscillator test mode
  • ? MUX-scan ATPG

Deliverables

  • We offer high-speed interface IPs designed for 28~90nm fabrication processes in various foundries. We can also customize porting IPs for customers requiring 90~180nm fabrications and support more advanced processes as needed.
