SD Card

SD Card v.3.0 / eMMC v.4.51 IP Family

Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

SD Card v.3.0 / eMMC v.4.51 IP Family - Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

Designed for embedded applications that require high performance, small form factor, and high storage capacity, eMMC provides the support for embedded mass storage memory on embedded host systems. The eMMC protocol simplifies the access to NAND flash memories (such as MLC) to the host by hiding the functional differences among suppliers. Compliant to the latest JEDEC eMMC specifications, Arasan’s eMMC IP supports power-on-booting without the upper level software driver. The explicit sleep mode allows the host to instruct the controller to directly enter the sleep mode. The interface supports interface voltage of either 1.8V or 3.3V.

SD 4.1 Family

Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

SD 4.1 Family - Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

To meet the ever increasing data transfer rate in high end applications, such as professional broadcasting transmission or advanced high resolution display, the SD 4.1 specification calls out the maximum performance of 1.56 Gbps at UHS-II full duplex mode per lane or half duplex UHS-II at 3.16 Gbps. In real applications, due to the system overhead and different SD 4.1 device controller designs, the actual measured performance can vary dramatically from system to system. With the newly introduced ADMA 3, the OS driver is now able to issue multiple read or multiple write commands at once, without having to wait for the SD controller to complete one command at a time. Once the SD host controller has collected multiple commands, it will then manage and complete them without intervention from the host software drive. Thus, the UHS-II 1.56 Gbps interface can be more effectively utilized and maximize the system throughput. This feature can be very useful when running multithreaded applications where multiple applications are constantly updating their status or swapping their contents by writing or reading small chunk of data to or from the memory card.

MIPI SLIMbus

Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

A typical mobile device has many low-speed/bandwidth peripherals connected to the host processor, which include microphones, speakers, sensors and many others. There is a need for a standard bus that enables multiple audio channels, peer-peer communications and lower pin count on the host processor. The MIPI alliance has defined the SLIMbus specification which provides a standard, robust, scalable, low-power, high-speed, cost-effective, two wire multipurpose interface that supports a wide range of digital audio and control solutions for mobile terminals.

MIPI Radio Front-End

RFFE

Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

RFFE - Arasan Chip Systems, Inc.

Mobile phone radios have developed into highly complex, multi-band and multi-standard designs that often have multiple radio frequency (RF) signal chains. The MIPI Alliance Specification for RF Front-End Control Interface (RFFE) was developed to offer a common and widespread method for controlling RF front-end devices. The RFFE Master IP core typically resides in the RFIC in a mobile platform, and utilizes the RFFE bus to identify, program and monitor the registers in RF front end Slave devices through programmed IO. It is designed to support existing standards such as LTE, UMTS, HSPA and EGPRS, and is usable in configurations ranging from single Master/single Slave to multi-Master/multi-Slave.
