SD 4.1 Family
-
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.

End Point IP Core
PCIe
-
The highly configurable PCIe End point IP core supports x1, x2, and x4 lane with a selection of 32/64-bit data path. Depending on design requirements, a maximum of 8 VCs and 8 TCs are supported. The IP core consists of many useful features that can be included to enhance system performance and to address special design needs in different applications. The data link layer allows the configuration of infinite credits to boost the flow control efficiency. By-pass mode, cut-through mode, and store-and-forward mode are other optional items. The transport layer features include configurable ECRC generation and checking, support for up to 64 configurable outstanding non-posted requests, and configurable payload size from 128 to 4 Kbytes

eMMC 5.1
-
Demand for mobile content capacity and bandwidth for video, pictures and music is ever increasing. To address this demand in the next generation of smartphones, tablets, and portable devices, the eMMC 5.1 Specification from JEDEC, improves the current HS400 speeds operating at 3.2Gbps, with "command queuing" making the data transfers highly efficient by offloading the software overhead into the controller. eMMC 5.1 further improves the reliability of operation by utilizing an "enhanced strobe" at the PHY layer. The eMMC5.1 is backward compatible with the existing eMMC 4.51 and eMMC 5.0 Devices.

Universal Flash Storage
UFS
-
Universal Flash Storage (UFS) is a JEDEC standard for high performance mobile storage devices suitable for next generation data storage. The UFS is also adopted by MIPI as a data transfer standard designed for mobile systems. Most UFS applications require large storage capacity for data and boot code. Applications include mobile phones, tablets, DSC, PMP, MP3, and other applications requiring mass storage, boot storage, XiP or external cards. The UFS standard is a simple, but high-performance, serial interface that efficiently moves data between a host processor and mass storage devices. USF transfers follow the SCSI model, but with a subset of SCSI commands.The Arasan UFS IP family consists of Host controller IP, Device controller IP, and MPHY.

MIPI Camera Serial Interface
CSI
-
Arasan provides a Total MIPI CSI-2 IP Solution supporting two options: MIPI CSI-2 v1.2 for D-PHY physical interface only, and MIPI CSI-2 v1.3 for the new MIPI C-PHY v1.0 and D-PHY v.1.1, v1.2, and a future v2.0. Arasan offers the C-PHY in a combination configuration that supports both C-PHY interfaces and D-PHY interfaces. Our implementation makes efficient use of the high frequency signally pins for a minimal overhead to support both physical interfaces.
