The growth of datacenter, storage, automotive and other emerging market applications is driving the development of next-generation memory technologies – DDR5, LPDDR5. Like their predecessors, the latest memory technologies also use DFI, a standard interface between memory controller and PHY, to reduce the integration cost and increase performance and data throughput efficiency. DFI also has evolved along with the memory technologies, and next generation DFI 5.0 is here to ensure higher performance in the systems using DDR5/LPDDR5. In this blog, we will discuss the new features of DFI 5.0 specification.

DFI defines signals, timing, and functionality required for efficient communication across the interface. The specification is developed for design of both memory controller and PHY, but does not place any restrictions on how the memory controller interfaces to the system design, or how the PHY interfaces to the DRAM devices.
