Overview

The Cadence High-Bandwidth Memory generation 3 (HBM3) PHY is optimized for systems that require the highest-bandwidth, low-latency memory solution. The memory subsystem PHY supports data rates up to 8.4Gbps per data pin, featuring 16 independent channels, for a total data width of 1024 bits. The PHY is designed for a 2.5D system with a silicon interposer to route signals between the 3D DRAM stack and PHY. The third-generation design is optimized for low power consumption and low PHY area. Cadence provides the complete solution including PHY, interposer, and package.
