SmartDV’s MIPI SPMI Slave to DMA Bridge IP is a silicon-proven, high-performance power management interface bridge solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring efficient, high-throughput data transfer between an external SPMI master controller and an on-chip DMA engine. Fully compliant with MIPI SPMI v2.0, it enables seamless bridging of SPMI transactions to a DMA interface, offloading the host processor from data movement tasks and enabling efficient bulk data transfer between SPMI-connected peripherals and system memory in mobile and automotive SoC designs.
By bridging the SPMI slave interface directly to the DMA fabric, it provides a lightweight, processor-offload path for high-throughput SPMI data transfers that would otherwise consume significant CPU bandwidth. Its support for Authentication Command Sequences, Device Descriptor Blocks, slave request hold, and optional glitch suppression gives SoC and PMIC teams a production-tested, feature-rich bridge implementation that maximizes data transfer efficiency while maintaining full SPMI protocol compliance.
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 and clean bridge interface enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of mobile and automotive process nodes and target applications.
