M88MX5891/5851 (CXL® 1.1/2.0 Memory eXpander Controller)

M88MX5891/5851 is a Type 3 Compute Express Link® (CXL®) Memory eXpander Controller (MXC), which enables high-speed and low-latency interconnect between the CPU and CXL-based devices.

The MXC integrates a CXL controller, a DDR controller, a RISC-V microprocessor, and rich peripheral interfaces such as SMBus, I3C/I²C, and SPI 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 intended for use in add-in cards (AICs) and EDSFF memory modules, enabling dramatically scaling of memory capacity and bandwidth to meet the ever-growing demand from data-intensive applications.
