The DDR interface is a crucial component of most SoCs, particularly the I/O ring, which can significantly

impact the die size and power of the design= said Claude Gauthier, vice president of marketing at OmniPhy.

"OmniPhy developed the DDR PHY to address our customers' need for application-specific DDR PHYs that

meet their aggressive power and area requirements."

OmniPhys DDR IP offering consists of PHY IP supporting DDR4, DDR3L, DDR3 LPDDR3 and LPDDR2.

The DDR PHY IP supports leading process technologies and includes a DFI 3.1 compliant interface.

OmniPhy helps lower integration risk by providing high-quality DDR IP solutions that have been implemented

in hundreds of applications and are shipping in volume production.
