Table 5–8 shows the parameters that Table 5–5 through Table 5–7 refer to.
PHY-to-Controller Interfaces
The following section describes the typical modules that are connected to the
ALTMEMPHY variation and the port name prefixes each module uses. This section
also describes using a custom controller. This section describes the AFI.
The AFI standardizes and simplifies the interface between controller and PHY for all
Altera memory designs, thus allowing you to easily interchange your own controller
code with Altera's high-performance controllers. The AFI includes an administration
block that configures the memory for calibration and performs necessary mode
registers accesses to configure the memory as required (these calibration processes are
different). Figure 5–11 shows an overview of the connections between the PHY, the
controller, and the memory device.
Table 5–8. Parameters
Parameter Name Description
DWIDTH_RATIO
The data width ratio from the local interface to the memory interface.
DWIDTH_RATIO
of
2 means full rate, while
DWIDTH_RATIO
of 4 means half rate.
LOCAL_IF_DWIDTH
The width of the local data bus must be quadrupled for half-rate and doubled for
full-rate.
MEM_IF_DWIDTH
The data width at the memory interface.
MEM_IF_DWIDTH
can have values that are
multiples of
MEM_IF_DQ_PER_DQS
.
MEM_IF_DQS_WIDTH
The number of DQS pins in the interface.
MEM_IF_ROWADDR_WIDTH
The row address width of the memory device.
MEM_IF_BANKADDR_WIDTH
The bank address with the memory device.
MEM_IF_CS_WIDTH
The number of chip select pins in the interface. The sequencer only calibrates one chip
select pin.
MEM_IF_DM_WIDTH
The number of
mem_dm
pins on the memory interface.
MEM_IF_DQ_PER_DQS
The number of
mem_dq[]
pins per
mem_dqs
pin.
MEM_IF_CLK_PAIR_COUNT
The number of
mem_clk/mem_clk_n
pairs in the interface.
