  High Speed DDR Interface Solution


YouDDR Advanced Technology


Brite provides a complete DDR subsystem including not only controller, PHY and IO, but also corresponding tuning and configuration software. And this solution can support LPDDR2, DDR3, LPDDR3, DDR4 and LPDDR4/4x combo PHY with the data rate from 667Mbps to 4266Mbps. YouPHY-DDR delivers a combination of DDR high speed and low power performance. With dynamic self-calibrating logic (DSCL) and dynamic adaptive bit calibration (DABC) technology, YouDDR can automatically compensate chip/package/board/memory PVT variation and bit-bit skew. YouDDR delivers higher DDR performance, smaller area and shorter time-to-market.

YouDDR Subsystem


Key DDR Subsystem Features

DDR Controller

  • Highly flexible and customizable DFI 4.0 compliant DDR controller architecture

  • Supports up to 32 target interfaces including AXI, AHB and FIFO-based interfaces

  • User-customizable arbiter (scheduler)

DDR PHY

  • Supports multi-rank DRAM variation compensation

  •  Comprehensive DDR protocol training

- CA training

DQ read training

DQ write training

Write leveling

Vref training

  • PHY is DFI 4.0 compatible and backwards-compatible to earlier DFI standards for simplified integration with existing

DFI-compliant Controllers

  • PHY includes DSCL technology

Automatically compensates for DDR interface timing due to static (process-related) variations and dynamic variations due to operating temperature, voltage, and data patterns

  • PHY includes DABC technology

Automatically compensates for bit-bit skew within each byte lane

  • DSCL delivers lowest PHY latency of 0.5 – 1 clock cycles

  • Fast and simple system bring-up via DSCL hardware routine


  • ATC(Auto Tracking and Compensation) technology

    - DLL's ATC

    - Round-Trip's ATC

    - Read-DQ-Eye's ATC

  • Improved long term system reliability

  • Flexible, rectilinear PHY layout offers industry’s smallest PHY area and is hardened to match IO pad frame

  • PHY (and optionally IO) configured as drop-in hard macro for easy implementation

  • Combo PHY options include:

DDR2/DDR3 PHY Combo

LPDDR2/DDR3 PHY Combo

LPDDR2/LPDDR3/DDR3 PHY Combo

DDR3/DDR4 PHY Combo

- LPDDR34/DDR34 PHY Combo 

LPDDR3/4 + DDR4 PHY Combo

       - LPDDR34(x)/DDR4 PHY Combo

DDR4 PHY


DDR I/O

  • High performance, low jitter DDR IO

  • Low power / small footprint

  • Silicon proven


IP Deliverables and Design Support

The DDR controller is delivered as RTL while the PHY and IO are delivered as hardened macros to fit the target chip floorplan and padframe. Brite can deliver a fully hardened DDR subsystem (controller, PHY and IO) if requested.

  • PHY Deliverables

Netlist, SDF, LEF, LIB, Verilog, timing reports, technical documentation.

  • Technical Guidance

Brite provides complete layout and integration guidelines for the DDR IP and a technical review of the DDR subsystem implementation prior to tapeout. Support is also available for silicon bring up.
