Arasan Launches Industry’s First 16-Bit xSPI and PSRAM IP Solution for Next-Generation SoCs
New integrated IP platform supports high-speed, low-power memory for advanced mobile and automotive chips.
Arasan Chip Systems, a leading provider of IP for mobile and automobile SoC's, is proud to announce the launch of the industry's first Sureboot™ Total 16-bit xSPI + PSRAM IP. The Sureboot™ Total xSPI + PSRAM 16-bit IP includes the controller IP, seamlessly integrated PHY IP and software stack. This IP is specifically engineered to support AP Memory's Xccela™ PSRAM and their latest LVpSRAM™, providing a high-performance, low-power memory interface for next-generation SoC designs.
"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 supporting 1.2V and 1.8V devices. It is fully compliant with the JEDEC JESD251C specification and backwards-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 optimised 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.
