Today's SoC designers face an increasingly daunting task when they are required to develop an SoC that requires a DDR SDRAM interface. Problems include the requirement for both ASIC and mixed-signal design flows, complex verification, intimacy with the DRAM components (and the road maps) and short chip life cycles and time to market. Fortunately, there is a semiconductor IP solution that addresses these problems and reduces development costs as well. Licensing an advanced process-independent DDR SDRAM memory controller in combination with the process-specific physical interface provides a silicon-proven solution that also significantly reduces overall design risk.
