"Arasan and AP Memory have worked collaboratively with multiple customers over the years" said Jerry Hsueh, Senior Vice President at AP Memory. "We are pleased to see the latest PSRAM IP solution from Arasan supporting our latest line of PSRAM Devices, including the LVpSRAM™.

The Arasan Sureboot™ 16-bit xSPI PSRAM IP is a high-performance memory interface designed for maximum speed and flexibility, doubling standard throughput by using two 8-bit data lanes to transfer 32 bits every 266MHz clock cycle and supports 1.2v and 1.8v devices. It is fully compliant with the JEDEC JESD251C specification and backward compatible with Octal, Quad, and Dual SPI standards, ensuring it works with both modern and legacy devices. The IP simplifies system integration by booting directly into SPI mode for immediate memory access and features AXI memory mapping with built-in DMA support.

The Arasan Total IP Solution includes:

• Sureboot™ 16-bit xSPI PSRAM Controller: A high-performance controller optimized for AP Memory's Xccela™ and LVpSRAM™, ensuring low latency and maximum throughput.
• Compliant PHY: A robust physical layer (PHY) designed for high-speed signal integrity and seamlessly integrated with Arasan's xSPI Controller. Supports 1.2 v and 1.8v devices.
• Complete Software Stack: A comprehensive firmware and software package to accelerate time-to-market and ensure seamless hardware-software synergy.

Arasan, a longstanding member of JEDEC offers a comprehensive portfolio of solid storage IP which includes Sureboot™ eMMC IP, SD Card IP, UFS IP, ONFI NAND Flash IP and standalone xSPI IP in addition to this PSRAM IP.

Availability

Arasan's Sureboot™ Total xSPI + PSRAM 16-bit IP with the PHY is available immediately on major foundries and on multiple nodes. Please contact sales@arasan.com to license the IP.
