Overview

Cadence® Denali® silicon-proven GDDR6 PHY and controller IP showcase leading-edge BER, BIST, and RAS capabilities. GDDR6 offers significantly more performance than the fastest speed of DDR5 at a moderate cost, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications. Cadence’s unique, single-vendor GDDR6 IP solution speeds up integration and reduces interoperability risk.
