M88MX5891 is a Compute Express Link™ (CXL™ ) Type 3 Memory eXpander Controller (MXC) used to provide high-speed, low-latency interconnect between CPU and CXL-based devices. The MXC integrates a CXL controller, a DDR controller, a RISC-V micro-processor and rich peripheral interfaces such as SMBus and I3C/I²C in a single chip. It is compliant with JEDEC DDR4/DDR5 standards and CXL 2.0/PCIe 5.0 specifications.
As the key component for memory expansion and pooling, the MXC is designed for use in add-in cards and EDSFF memory modules, which enables dramatically scaling of memory capacity and bandwidth to meet the ever-growing demand from HPC and AI applications.
