XSPI Controller IP

Overview

XSPI Controller interface provides full support for the two-wire XSPI Controller synchronous serial interface, compatible with XSPI specification. Through its XSPI Controller compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. XSPI CONTROLLER IIP is proven in FPGA environment. The host interface of the XSPI CONTROLLER can be AMBA APB, AMBA AHB, AMBA AHB-Lite, AMBA AXI, AMBA AXI-Lite, VCI, OCP, Avalon, PLB, Tilelink, Wishbone or Custom protocol.

Key Features

  • Compliant with XSPI protocol of JEDEC standard version 1.0 specification
  • Support single master and multiple slaves per interface port
  • Support source synchronous clocking
  • Support Deep power down enter and exit commands
  • Support Eight IO ports in standard. Possible to increase IO port based on system performance requirements
  • Optional support for Data strobe for write masking
  • Support 1-bit wide SDR transfer
  • Support profile 1.0 Commands to manage a non-volatile memory device
  • Support profile 2.0 Commands to support read or write data for any time of slave devices
  • Speed grades with data transfer rates up to
    • -> 400MT/s (200 MHz Clock)
    • -> 333MT/s (167 MHz Clock)
    • -> 266MT/s (133 MHz Clock)
    • -> 200MT/s (100 MHz Clock)
  • To support protocol modes:
  • -> 1S – WR –WR
  • -> 4D – 4D – 4D
  • -> 8D – 8D – 8D
  • Transaction phases - Command, Address, Latency, Data
  • Transfer bit width options in each phase W = 1 or 8
  • Data rate options in each phases S for SDR or D for DDR
  • Fully synthesizable.
  • Static synchronous design.
  • Positive edge clocking and no internal tri-states.
  • Scan test ready.
  • Simple interface allows easy connection to Microprocessor/Microcontroller devices.
