Overview

SmartDV’s UFS (Universal Flash Storage) 2.x Host IP is a silicon-proven, high-speed storage interface solution purpose-built for SoCs in mobile, automotive, and high-performance embedded systems. Fully compliant with JEDEC UFS 2.1 specifications, MIPI M-PHY v3.0, and MIPI UniPro v1.6 standards, it enables fast, low-latency communication with UFS 2.1-compatible memory devices. With a proven track record in production silicon, it provides a reliable and mature foundation for storage interface designs across a wide range of mobile and embedded applications.

As one of the most widely deployed UFS generations across mobile SoCs, UFS 2.1 remains a critical interface standard for a broad range of production designs. SmartDV’s silicon-proven UFS 2.x Host IP gives teams a battle-hardened, spec-complete implementation that has been validated in real customer silicon, reducing integration risk and supporting faster time to market.

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. Combined with its silicon-proven status, its parameterized architecture and clean SoC interface options deliver a mature, low-risk host controller solution for mobile and embedded storage designs.
