GDDR4 Controller IIP
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
