Overview

SmartDV’s LPDDR3 Controller IP is a silicon-proven, high-performance memory controller solution purpose-built for mobile, automotive, and high-performance embedded SoCs requiring efficient, low-power access to LPDDR3 memory devices. Fully compliant with JEDEC JESD209-3C and DFI v3.1 specifications, it delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency memory control with support for device densities up to 32GB across x16 and x32 device configurations.

Engineered to maximize memory subsystem performance, the controller supports up to 16 AXI ports with data widths up to 512 bits, in-port and multi-port arbitration, and advanced transaction reordering for optimal throughput across concurrent memory access scenarios. Its comprehensive power management feature set including Power Down, Deep Power Down, input clock stop, and frequency change capabilities makes it well-suited for power-sensitive mobile and automotive applications where memory subsystem efficiency is a critical design constraint.

Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its parameterized architecture, user-programmable page policy, and flexible host interface options enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and target applications.
