No.  Not available in public.

I got the datasheet
because Socionext (formerly, Panasonic) bought this IP.

I checked
"Denali NAND Flash Memory Controller User's Guide"
released by Denali.

I also get access to a newer version
"Cadence Design IP - NAND Flash Memory Controller User's Guide"
because Cadence acquired Denali.


My datasheet says:
"clk_x - Cadence NAND Flash Memory Controller bus
interface clock. This runs at a configured
multiple of clk as is phase aligned. Configured
multiple can be between 4-6 times."



Various parts of this IP are configurable.
Is yours talking about this IP,
or about a particular configuration for SOCFPGA?
