Northwest Logic, Micron, Rambus and Avery Design to Deliver a Comprehensive GDDR6 Solution for Next-Generation Applications
Northwest Logic is collaborating with Micron, Rambus and Avery Design to deliver a comprehensive GDDR6 solution. This first-of-its-kind solution will extend GDDR6’s use beyond the traditional graphics market into advanced applications such as high-performance networking, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence and 5G infrastructure. Supporting up to 64GB/s transfer rates with a single device, GDDR6 provides a significant performance advantage over DDR4 while utilizing proven BGA packaging.
The GDDR6 solution will include the following components:
• GDDR6 Memory (Micron)
• GDDR6 PHY (Rambus)
• GDDR6 Controller (Northwest Logic)
• GDDR6 Verification IP (Avery Design)
“Northwest Logic is adapting its widely used, silicon-proven Memory Controller solution to support GDDR6 memory. The high-performance, fully configurable GDDR6 Controller will be fully integrated, verified and delivered with the Rambus GDDR6 PHY enabling customer to quickly and reliably create GDDR6 designs,” said Brian Daellenbach, president of Northwest Logic.
