xSPI MBMC overview

SLL’s unified xSPI Multiple Bus Memory Controller IP supports the widest range of JEDEC xSPI and xSPI-like NOR Flash and PSRAM memories (JEDEC xSPI Profile 1.0 and 2.0, HyperBus 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, OctaBus and Xccela Bus) that are available now from many memory vendors.

JEDEC xSPI and xSPI-like memories offer good performance with lower hardware and power costs.  Memory device variants offer up to 512 Mbit PSRAM, up to 2 Gigabit NOR Flash, up to 250 MHz DDR clock speeds, with x4, x8 and x16 data path widths, and a wide range of package options including 4mm x 4mm BGA49 and tiny WLCSP footprints.  Some PRSAM devices are now also available with internal ECC.

SLL’s official partners include many of the leading global memory vendors. SLL works closely with our partners to ensure SLL’s memory controllers are physically qualified with their memory device variants, significantly reducing your project’s risks. SLL’s xSPI MBMC is internally verified by SLL with an extensive end-to-end test bench that achieves near 100% code coverage.

SLL’s small xSPI MBMC IP enables you to easily evaluate, select and adopt the benefits of the latest xSPI-style memories in your projects and products.

SLL provides world class pre-sales and post-sales technical support for all the major memory vendors and FPGA vendors, helping you navigate the rapidly evolving market, on the platform of your choice.

Get to market faster, with lower power consumption, lower pin count, lower cost, and far lower project risk by using SLL’s memory controller in your project/s.

xSPI MBMC v3 support for Microchip (Microsemi) FPGA

SLL’s Multiple Bus Memory Controller (xSPI-MBMC) has already been ported, and physically qualified with, Microchip PolarFire FPGA

SLL is Microchip (Microsemi)’s chosen memory controller vendor to support 1.8V HyperBus, OctaRAM and Xccela PSRAM devices at up to the full 200 MHz on Microchip PolarFire.

xSPI MBMC IP is complementary to PolarFire’s DDRx solutions:

  • Supports GUI configuration in Libero
  • Up to 19x less FPGA Logic Elements (LE) than x16 DDR3L controller
  • Up to 5x less FPGA I/O pins than x16 DDR3L
  • Up to 4x less FPGA I/O pins than x8 DDR3L
  • RISC-V software performance on 8-bit PSRAM @ 200 MHz is highly competitive with 16-bit DDR3 @ 333 MHz
