Marketed under the brand name "inrevium", the SD/SDIO controller IP is compliant with the newest standard specifications and can reach the maximum throughput of more than 20Mbyte/s, which makes it the highest performing technology available in the industry.
The inrevium TE4391/4392 is a host controller IP that is fully compliant with the SD Host Standard Specification Version 2.0 (currently in draft), which supports advanced direct memory access (DMA) for highest throughput.
The host controller IP also supports the newest SD Physical 1.10, SDIO Card Specification 1.20 (currently in draft), MMC 4.0 and CE-ATA 1.1.
Because of its selectable CPU interfaces (general 32bit and Amba2.0), the TE4391/4392 host controller IP is ideally suited for multimedia system-on-a-chip designs for mobile computing devices, such as cellular phones, digital cameras and portable media players.
The inrevium TE4353 is a card-side controller IP that is fully compliant with the SDIO Card Specification Version 1.20 (currently in draft).
It supports 50MHz clock speed and can reach a maximum throughput of more than 20Mbyte/s.
The TE4353 card-side controller IP is ideally suited for SDIO card devices/modules, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and UWB.
Both the host and card-side controller IP is available today.
TED also provides a complete development solution to enable a rapid design process for each customer, which includes a sample firmware, an evaluation board and a simulation environment.
"We are an original member of the SD Association, and our goal is always to deliver to our customers the highest-quality SD Memory/SDIO Card controller technology based on the newest standards", said Jim Otani, Engineering Manager for the inrevium product group of TED.
