HBM4 Controller IP

The Synopsys HBM4 Controller IP is optimized for power, latency, bandwidth, and area, supporting the JEDEC HBM4 standard.

Overview

The Synopsys HBM4 Controller IP is optimized for power, latency, bandwidth, and area, supporting the JEDEC HBM4 standard. It interoperates with Synopsys HBM4 PHY IP through an extended DFI interface, delivering a complete memory interface solution. With pseudo channel support and flexible configuration options, the controller enhances memory bandwidth. Software configuration registers are accessible via the Arm AMBA APB specification interface. Key features include an advanced dynamic memory access command scheduler (e.g., CAM), Quality of Service (QoS) classes, a memory protocol handler (such as refresh and refresh management), power-saving capabilities (self-refresh, power down, DFI low power, frequency change), reliability and serviceability (RAS) features (Read/Write DQ parity, command access parity, SEC-DED ECC), PHY management, DRAM maintenance control (controller update, PHY update, controller message), and dual pseudo-channel support.

Key features

  • Supports JEDEC standard HB4 DRAM
  • DFI 5.1 compliant interface to HBM4 PHY
  • Multiport Arm® AMBA® interface (AXI™) with managed QoS per pseudo-channel or single-port host interface(HIF), per channel

  • DFI frequency ratio of 1:4:8
  • Up to 64 pseudo-channels
  • Single pseudo-channel addressing mode
  • Supports 16, 32, 48, and up to 64 banks
  • Supports for max. density up to 32G/16H
  • Multiple stack height support
  • Autonomous per-bank/all-bank refresh
  • Autonomous refresh management/postponed refresh/directed refresh management
  • Support for Power-saving capabilities like self-refresh, power-down, software triggered refresh
  • Support for DBIac
  • Temperature compensated refresh
  • Support for catastrophic temperature sensor (CATTRIP)
  •  RAS features such as On-die ECC, SEC-DED ECC or CRC, Parity for CA and Data buses, scrubbing
  • Supports various QoS classes such as Normal Priority Write (NPR), Variable Priority Write (VPR), Low Priority Read(LPR), Variable Priority Read(VPR), High Priority Read(HPR)Read Modify Write (RMW)
