DDR4 Multi-modal PHY - GLOBALFOUNDRIES 12nm

Overview

The DDR4 multi-modal PHY is a DFI 3.1 compliant memory interface that supports both UDIMM and RDIMM modules as well as DRAM–on-motherboard topologies, making it suitable for a broad range of enterprise and consumer applications. Our PHY consists of a Command/Address (C/A) block, Clock and Power Management block and Data (DQ) macro cells to create a 72 bits wide channel. It is fully characterized and contains all of the necessary components for robust operation and is available in GF 28SLP and SS 28 LPP processes.

Key Features

  • PLL-based clocking with internal clock alignment to the parallel clock on the memory controller interface
  • Autonomous initialization
  • Support for x72 bit channel
  • Support for multiple DRAM widths (x4, x8, x16, x32)
  • Support for single channel, 1 to 4 ranks
  • Selectable low-power operating states
  • DFI 3.1 compliant for easy integration with memory controller
  • Programmable output impedance and on-die termination
  • ZQ calibration of output impedance and on-die calibration
  • Utilizes standard 8-layer 6020 metal layer stack

Deliverables

  • Fully-Characterized hard macro (GDSII)
  • Complete design views
  • Full documentation and datasheet
