The DDR and DDR2 SDRAM Controller with ALTMEMPHY Intel FPGA Intellectual Property (IP) provides simplified interfaces to industry-standard DDR SDRAM and DDR2 SDRAM. The DDR and DDR2 SDRAM Controller with ALTMEMPHY Intel FPGA IP core work in conjunction with the ALTMEMPHY physical interface IP function. The controllers offer a half-rate interface and a full-rate interface to the customer application logic.
The parameter editor generates a design example, instantiates a phase-locked loop (PLL), an example driver, your DDR or DDR2 SDRAM controller custom variation, and an optional delay-locked loop (DLL) (for Intel® Stratix® FPGA series only). The design example is a fully functional design that can be simulated, synthesized, and used in hardware. The example driver is a self-test module that issues read-and-write commands to the controller and checks the read data to produce the pass/fail and test complete signals.
