The Flash DLL PHY supports 4 different DDR Flash Standards: ONFI 2, ONFI 3, Toggle 1, Toggle 2. In addition the PHY supports a bypass mode to support asynchronous Flash memories including ONFI 1. The DLL DDR PHY is an all-digital solution connecting the DDR I/O pads to the DFI interface of the memory controller including alignment of write data, read data capture, and DQS gating. By using an all-digital DLL-based design, both power and area are kept to a minimum, typically under 4mW per data slice for ONFI 3 mode 5 .
Features
- Read and write data interfaces employing DLL based delays for correct data and dqs alignment
- Digital DLL design creates PVT-compensated read and write clocks to the appropriate data paths
- Address and control interfaces for ONFI 2,3/ Toggle 1,2
- 8-bit datapath slice can be repeated to build PHY's of any width
- Individual timing to each data slice supports ONFI 2,3/ Toggle 1,2
- Register interface for PHY programming, configuration, and testing modes
- Clock gating for low power operation
- Scan functionality for data slice
- Internal and external data-path loop-back mode for additional functional testing
- Boundary scan muxing built into core logic to facilitate insertion of boundary scan chains between core logic and IO pads
- Natively low-latency design
