Popis: A memory system that meets the bandwidth, power efficiency, and capacity needs of future computing systems is presented in this paper. A 6.4 Gbps single-ended DDR memory interface for the controller and the DRAM was designed in a 28-nm CMOS process for a main memory system with dual-rank DIMMs. The architecture features a novel clocking scheme, per-pin timing adjustment, dynamic point-to-point signaling topology, and near ground signaling. The system V-T budget simulations and the characterization results of the fabricated memory interface are presented.
