MIPI SLIMbus
-
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.

PCIe End Point IP Core
-
The Arasan PCI Express End Point is a high-speed, high-performance, and low-power IP core that is fully compliant to the PCI Express Specification 1.1 and 2.0. The IP core is designed for applications in computing, networking, storage, servers, wireless, and consumer electronics. The feature-rich IP core is highly configurable that allows a target design to be implemented with the least number of gates and highest performance.

SD Card V.4.1 & UHS-II PHY
SD 4.1 Total Solution
-
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

Low speed Serial Interfaces
12C/ 12S/ SPI/ UART
-
Arasan has a diverse portfolio of connectivity IP products including SPI, I2C, I2S and UART. These protocols are vital for the integration of SoCs with peripheral chipsets in order to form a complete hardware platform. They are frequently used by the SoC to configure, control and gather diagnostic information at the platform level to ensure correct operation of the hardware.Arasan's proven Connectivity IP Solutions provides a risk free path to integrating these interfaces in SoC designs:High quality IP cores ensure inter-operability between SoCs and peripheralsIn-house domain expertise ensures a high quality support throughout the SoC development cycleTotal IP solution includes RTL source code, synthesis scripts, test environment and documentation

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.

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