Synopsys Basic Universal DDR Memory and Protocol Controllers

The Synopsys Basic Universal DDR controllers consist of the Universal DDR Protocol Controller (uPCTL) and the Universal DDR Memory Controller (uMCTL), which support the JEDEC DDR3, DDR2, Mobile DDR, LPDDR2, and LPDDR3 SDRAM standards. For DDR4, LPDDR4 and more advanced features, see the Enhanced Universal DDR Memory Controller (uMCTL2).

The uPCTL serves the memory control needs of applications with simple transactions that do not require an internal scheduler, while the uMCTL accepts memory access requests from up to 16 application-side host ports.

All the Synopsys Universal controllers connect to PHYs via the industry-standard DFI interface, and all their registers may be accessed through industry-standard APB busses.
