Alma Technologies announces availability of Serial Flash controller core. |
Pikermi, Athens March 3, 2010 − Alma Technologies, provider of silicon IP cores, today announced immediate availability of its Serial Flash controller core. The SPI-MEM-CTRL IP core is an efficient memory controller suitable for designs which benefit from the reduced pin-count, board space, power consumption, and total system cost, that comes with serial flash devices.
Supporting single, dual, and quad SPI transactions at high serial clock rates, the SPI-MEM-CTRL IP core is able to efficiently utilize
the bandwidth of today's serial flash devices. Furthermore, integration and programming overhead is minimal as the core is able to automatically
identify most of the available devices and the fastest access mode for each device. The SPI-MEM-CTRL is able to read, write or erase the attached device,
via a flexible, register-mapped, request-based interface (generic or AMBA/APB-compliant). Applications The SPI-MEM-CTRL IP core is ideal is for pad/pin-limited system processor/controllers needing to store program code images in non-volatile memory (e.g. hard drives, Ethernet controllers, DSL modems, wireless network devices, etc.).
