2.2 LPDDR4 Device Implementations Supported

There are different LPDDR4 SDRAM combinations supported by the DDR subsystem. Table 2-1 lists the supported device combinations.

Table 2-1 Supported LPDDR4 SDRAM Combinations
LPDDR4 SDRAM Count Channels Die Ranks LPDDR4 Channel Width DDRSS Data Width
1 (2) 2 1 1 16 bits 32 bits
1 (1)(4) 1 1 1 16 bits 16 bits
1 (2) 2 2 1 16 bits 32 bits
1 (3) 2 4 2 16 bits 32 bits
(1) 16 bit DDRSS data width implementations are non-standard, but supported on select devices. See device-specific data manual if supported for a particular processor.
(2) See 32-Bit, Single Rank LPDDR4 Implementation.
(3) See 32-Bit, Dual-Rank LPDDR4 Implementation.
(4) See 16-Bit, Single Rank LPDDR4 Implementation.
