-- Arasan Chip Systems, a leading provider of semiconductor IP for mobile and 
automobile SoCs, today announced the immediate availability of its xSPI Host IP 
Core supporting the JEDEC JESD251 specification

Arasan expands its solid state storage IP portfolio with the announcement of 
the immediate availability of its eXpanded Serial Peripheral Interface (xSPI) 
IP compliant to the JEDEC JESD251 xSPI Specification V1.0. The xSPI IP also 
supports JESD216D Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP). The JEDEC 
JESD251 standardizes the NOR Flash Device Interfaces.

Arasan's xSPI IP is a universal NOR Flash Interface IP with support for Octal 
SPI, QSPI, Dual SPI and SPI Interfaces.  Arasan, with its leadership in memory 
interface IP understands that SoC's will boot up directly from the NOR FLASH 
and reliability of the xSPI interface with regard to compliance and fail safe 
performance is mandatory. Arasan's xSPI IP has undergone rigorous testing at 
the RTL level with its own test environment and 3rd party VIP. The IP has also 
been tested on FPGA with xSPI Flash Memory devices.

Arasan provides a Total xSPI IP Solution with software, FPGA prototyping 
platform and 3rd party UVM based VIP in addition to the Verilog RTL code and 
test environment. 

Arasan xSPI IP joins its comprehensive portfolio of solid state storage IP 
which includes UFS + M-PHY IP, eMMC IP, SD Card Host IP + SD UHS-II IP and ONFI 
NAND Flash IP + ONFI PHY IP.

Availability
The Arasan xSPI Host IP is available immediately for ASIC and FPGA 
applications. Arasan is a member of both Xilinx, Intel and Microsemi FPGA IP 
Partner Programs.
