LSI Logic Signal Integrity Expertise Enables Best in Class Memory Interface Solutions
- Superior signal integrity enables high performance interfaces to DDR-1 memories in wirebond packages to reduce overall system cost
- Silicon characterized RLDRAM-II and FCRAM-II memory interface cores are finely tuned to run up to 400MHz/800Mb/s
MILPITAS, Calif., August 24, 2004 - Demonstrating industry-leading speeds with superior signal integrity in wirebond and Flip ChipTM packages, LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today announced it has completed silicon characterization of GflxTM (0.11-micron) DDR-SDRAM memory interface cores in low cost packages and RLDRAM-II and FCRAM-II memory interface cores at the highest speeds, 400MHz/800Mb/s. These high-speed memory interface cores provide designers with a physical layer interface that can be quickly and easily integrated into ASIC designs.
"This development underscores LSI Logic's commitment to providing risk-free high-speed memory interface solutions," said William Lau, director of Memory Interface and Signal Integrity, LSI Logic. "We have demonstrated that our memory interface solutions offer superior performance and our signal integrity expertise translates into lower system costs and faster time-to-market for our customers."
The Gflx DDR1-SDRAM cores are characterized in silicon up to 266 MHz/533Mega-bits-per-second (Mbps) in wirebond packages under best, worst and nominal process, voltage and temperature (PVT) conditions. This enables devices with low-cost wirebond packages while maintaining adequate headroom over the memory industry's highest DDR-SDRAM speeds. System designers can take advantage of this headroom by easing board design constraints, resulting in lower overall system costs.
Gflx RLDRAM-II and FCRAM-II cores are characterized in silicon up to 400MHz/800Mbps. The superior signal integrity of the HSTL I/Os combined with the timing-closed hard macros allow customers to rapidly design their ASICs and unlock the performance benefits of low-latency, high bandwidth RLDRAM and FCRAM memories at a reduced risk.
LSI Logic provides a wide range of memory interface cores and I/O buffers for DDR-SDRAMs, DDR2-SDRAMs, QDR-SRAMs RLDRAMs and FCRAMs. The cores and I/O buffers provide a timing-closed solution allowing customers to reduce chip development time and speed time-to-market.
