eMMC 5.1 HS400 PHY

The eMMC5.1 PHY is a fully compliant PHY layer for JEDEC eMMC5.1 and eMMC5.1 JESD84-B50 specification.

Overview

The eMMC5.1 PHY is a fully compliant PHY layer for JEDEC eMMC5.1 and eMMC5.1 JESD84-B50 specification. It is backward compatible with eMMC4.51 and earlier versions of the specifications. This allows the designers of the SoC to easily support the eMMC interface and optimize the performance and power while maintaining interoperability with eMMC 5.0 and eMMC 5.1 devices.

eMMC 5.1 HS400 PHY IP consists of hardened PHY IP and RTL block code. The hard-macro consists of analog IPs, such as eMMC 5.1 interface Pads, Impedance Calibration Pad, an analog DLL, and the DLL wrapper. The RTL Block code includes the Host/Device controller.

To assist with eMMC 5.1 IP integration, the vendor provides all of the back-end views of eMMC 5.1 GPIO Pads and CALIO Pad integrated with TSMC ESD protection structure for I/O VDDQ, VSSQ, and Power Clamps.

UFS Goes Mainstream

UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.

Arasan’s xSPI/eMMC5.1 PHY: Unified Dual-Mode Physical Layer IP

As SoCs evolve to support a growing range of memory interfaces, designers are faced with the challenge of balancing integration complexity, pin efficiency, and performance scalability. Traditionally, implementing both xSPI (JESD251) for boot and eMMC 5.1 for high-speed storage required separate PHYs, leading to increased silicon area, power consumption, and I/O overhead.
