Product Overview
The combination of Northwest Logic’s Memory Controller Cores The combination of the Memory Controller Core and DDR PHY
and ASIC DDR PHY is designed for use in ASICs requiring high can be fully tested using Northwest Logic’s Memory Test Core
memory throughput, high clock rates and full programmability. and Data Analyzer Core. The Memory Test Core provides a
complete memory test using random and directed reads and
Versions of the ASIC DDR PHY are available which support writes. The Mem Test Analyzer Core provides access to the
DDR3 1060, DDR2 1066, DDR 800, Mobile DDR 400, RLDRAM II actual and expected memory test results for analysis.
1066 Mbit/s/pin operation. Multi-mode versions are also
available. The DDR PHY is delivered as a soft core with timing con-
straints. This enables the DDR PHY to be optimized for a tar-
get process and pinout.
To ensure robust operation the DDR PHY uses a windowing data
capture method, uses proven off-the-shelf DDR I/O and DLL, Northwest Logic can provides DDR PHY related services includ-
and supports ASIC-side ODT and calibrated output impedance. ing DDR I/O and DLL replacement, process porting and DDR

The DDR PHY is specifically designed for flexibility. This in-
cludes a broad range of programmable features including vari-
ous timing parameters, termination settings and drive
