Memory Controllers

Memory Controllers - Future of the Past

Memory and its role in contemporary Systems-on-Chips has dramatically increased over the last couple of years, becoming one of the most important challenges in user applications and complicated industrial electronic circuits.

The rapid memory capacity growth rate results in ever newer specifications that must be met by new controllers. This fact is especially important in IP business, where requirements for end-user product must be met long before it hits the shelves.

Each of the memory controllers can be supplied with a complementary software driver for significant acceleration of application development.

The memory controllers product line is the fastest growing division of Evatronix, so be sure to check with us for the latest specification of the IP core you are interested in.

Memory Controller IP Cores

NAND Flash The ONFi 2.2 compliant NANDFLASH-CTRL IP core for high-capacity Multi-Level Cell (MLC), Single-Level Cell (SLC) and High-Speed NAND Flash memories provides System-on-Chip developers with a comprehensive way to minimize time-consuming hardware and software development as well as leverage emerging embedded application technologies.
NAND Flash PHY The SDLL-NANDFLASH-PHY IP core allows to work with ONFi 1.x and 2.x compliant High-Speed NAND Flash memories. In conjunction with the memory controller the SDLL-NANDFLASH-PHY forms a complete system and provides System-on-Chip developers with a comprehensive way to leverage emerging embedded application technologies.
SD/SDIO/MMC Host The SDIO-HOST is an SD/SDIO/MMC/eMMC host controller compatible with the SD Host Specification version 3.0. It supports SD Memory Card 3.0, SDIO Card 3.0, and MMC/eMMC 4.41 specifications. The configurable multi-slot architecture makes the design suitable for a wide range of applications, including low area designs. Each slot can be individually controlled with the Standard Register Set.
Parallel ATA The ATAIF implements a host controller for non-volatile memory devices using the parallel interface known as ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment), IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics), and ATAPI (Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface). The IP provides a simple interface to memory devices such as hard-disk drives, CDROM/DVD players/writers, Compact Flash storage, and PC Card devices.
