Overview
The DDR4 multiPHY is a complete mixed-signal IP solution designed to provide LPDDR3/LPDDR2/DDR3/DDR3U/DDR3L/DDR4 SDRAM connectivity in a System-On-a-Chip (SOC) design targeted to a specific fabrication process. The DDR4 multiPHY supports a range of SDRAM speeds, from DDR3-400 through DDR4-2400. Targeted toward supporting, x8 and x16 SDRAM components, DDR4 multiPHY 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 (AC), Data (DAT), PLL, and SSTL I/O Library —implementations of the DDR4 multiPHY are compatible with JEDEC DDR SDRAMs, helping ensure customer success.

DDR is most critical IP to SoC’s successful operation, because processors in SoC typically spends the majority of its cycles on reading and writing to DDR memory.
This whitepaper provides an overview of the JEDEC memory standards to help SoC designers select the right memory solution, including IP, that best fits their application requirements.
