GDDR4 interface provides full support for the GDDR4 interface, compatible with GDDR4Spec_rev_04 specification and DFI-version 4.0…

Overview

GDDR4 interface provides full support for the GDDR4 interface, compatible with GDDR4Spec_rev_04 specification and DFI-version 4.0 or 5.0 Specification Compliant. Through its GDDR4 compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. GDDR4 IIP is proven in FPGA environment. The host interface of the GDDR4 can be simple interface or can be AMBA AHB, AMBA AHB-Lite, AMBA APB, AMBA AXI, AMBA AXI-Lite, Tilelink, OCP, VCI, Avalon, PLB, Wishbone or Custom protocol.

GDDR4 Controller IIP is supported natively in Verilog and VHDL

Keeping Pace with CXL Specification Revisions

As the Compute Express Link® (CXL®) specification rapidly evolves, so too must the tools and infrastructure used to verify designs built around it. Maintaining verification IP (VIP) that keeps pace with new specification revisions is no small task, particularly when dealing with major version shifts like the transition from CXL 2.0 to 3.0.

SmartDV Licenses SDIO IP Family to Ranix for V2X Products

To meet RANiX’s unique design goals, SmartDV will customize the IP to go beyond the standard SDIO functionality—thereby empowering RANiX to differentiate from their competitors. SmartDV will also provide RANiX with the requisite support and documentation to achieve ASIL certification for ISO 26262.
