DDR-II SDRAM Packet Buffer IP Cores
Overview
To address the need for a high bandwidth yet cost effective packet buffering solution, Sarance Technologies᾿ has developed and implemented a packet buffer that is based on DDR-II SDRAM devices. DDR-II SDRAM is widely used, and provides a cost effective alternative to other memory technologies, without suffering from any security of supply issues. The packet buffer has been designed as a channelized core, where each core connects to a single DDRII SDRAM device and supports a worst case symmetric throughput of 2.5 Gbps. Solutions reaching and exceeding 10G rates can be built by instantiating parallel cores.
