DDR5 I3C bus extension and SPD hub devices qualified for partner firmware
Renesas Electronics Corporation has announced that AMI has qualified the Renesas I3C bus extension products for its MegaRAC SP-X Remote Management Firmware. Having the I3C devices on its approved vendor list allows an easy migration path for customers moving their DDR5 platforms and boards from I2C or other legacy expansion specifications to the new high-speed I3C specification.
The IMX3102 2:1 bus multiplexer, IMX3112 1:2 bus expander, and DDR5 SPD Hub SPD5118 devices offer maximum design flexibility for engineers implementing I3C Basic as a system management bus for control plane designs over a mixture of applications, including data centre and server applications, factory automation, enterprise, and communications equipment. The devices are excellent when there can be multiple masters, a large number of endpoint devices, and long traces – all of which can impact bus complexity and signal integrity.
AMI qualifies Renesas I3C bus extension products AMI, a firmware and software solutions partner, has qualified Renesas Electronics I3C bus extension products for its MegaRAC SP-X Remote Management Firmware.
By having the I3C devices on AMIâs approved vendor list it makes any migration path much easier for customers shifting their DDR5 platforms and boards from I2C or other legacy expansion specifications to the new high-speed I3C specification.
The IMX3102 2:1 bus multiplexer, IMX3112 1:2 bus expander, and DDR5 SPD Hub SPD5118 devices have been designed to provide design flexibility for engineers implementing I3C Basic as a system management bus for control plane designs across a variety of applications, including data centre and server applications, enterprise, factory automation, and communications equipment.
Renesas DDR5 I3C Bus Extension and SPD Hub Devices Qualified for AMI Firmware
Expanded I3C Ecosystem Now Includes Firmware, Software, and Hardware, Accelerating Product Qualification and Adoption for DDR5 Solutions
Düsseldorf, April 29, 2021 ―
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced that AMI, a firmware and software solutions partner, has qualified the Renesas I3C bus extension products for its MegaRAC® SP-X Remote Management Firmware. Having the I3C devices on AMI’s approved vendor list enables an easy migration path for customers shifting their DDR5 platforms and boards from I2C or other legacy expansion specifications to the new high-speed I3C specification.
Expanded timing portfolio for high-performance communications
Renesas Electronics Corporation has expanded its timing solutions portfolio with a new sub-100fs point-of-use clock solution for server, data centre, and network infrastructure markets. The new FemtoClock2 family incorporates ultra-low jitter clock generators and jitter attenuators in a small 4mm x 4mm2 package, facilitating cost-effective and easy clock tree implementation for next-generation, high-speed interconnect designs.
Providing best-in-class jitter as low as 64fs RMS, the device allows customers to simply satisfy next-generation PAM4 demands on new switch or router designs. With a 4mm x 4mm2 form factor, the family is less than one third the size of comparable solutions on the market. This enables designers to locate the clock source at the point of use – very close to the device receiving the clock signal – for streamlined PCB layout design, diminished cross-talk, and cleaner signals. Flexibility makes the
