Signal Name

Type

Description

 

 

 

 

 

SCS[3:0]#

O

Chip Select: These pins select the particular DDR SDRAM

 

 

SSTL_2

components during the active state.

 

 

 

NOTE: There is one SCS# per DDR-SDRAM Physical DDR DIMM

 

 

 

device row. These signals can be toggled on every rising System

 

 

 

Memory Clock edge (SCMDCLK).

 

 

 

 

 

SMA[12:0]

O

Multiplexed Memory Address: These signals are used to provide the

 

 

SSTL_2

multiplexed row and column address to the DDR SDRAM.

 

 

 

 

 

SBA[1:0]

O

Bank Select (Memory Bank Address): These signals define which

 

 

SSTL_2

banks are selected within each DDR SDRAM row. The SMA and SBA

 

 

 

signals combine to address every possible location within a DDR

 

 

 

SDRAM device.

 

 

 

 

 

SRAS#

O

DDR Row Address Strobe: SRAS# may be heavily loaded and

 

 

SSTL_2

requires tw0 DDR SDRAM clock cycles for setup time to the DDR

 

 

 

SDRAMs. Used with SCAS# and SWE# (along with SCS#) to define the

 

 

 

system memory commands.

 

 

 

 

 

SCAS#

O

DDR Column Address Strobe: SCAS# may be heavily loaded and

 

 

SSTL_2

requires two clock cycles for setup time to the DDR SDRAMs. Used

 

 

 

with SRAS# and SWE# (along with SCS#) to define the system memory

 

 

 

commands.

 

 

 

 

 

SWE#

O

Write Enable: Used with SCAS# and SRAS# (along with SCS#) to

 

 

SSTL_2

define the DDR SDRAM commands. SWE# is asserted during writes to

 

 

 

DDR SDRAM. SWE# may be heavily loaded and requires two clock

 

 

 

cycles for setup time to the DDR SDRAMs.

 

 

 

 

 

SDQ[63:0]

I/O

Data Lines: These signals are used to interface to the DDR SDRAM

 

 

SSTL_2

data bus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I/O

Data Strobes: Data strobes are used for capturing data. During writes,

 

SDQS[8:0]

SSTL_2

SDQS is centered on data. During reads, SDQS is edge aligned with

 

 

data. The following list matches the data strobe with the data bytes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is an associated data strobe (DQS) for each data signal (DQ) and

 

 

 

check bit (CB) group.

 

 

 

SDQS[7] -> SDQ[63:56]

 

 

 

SDQS[6] -> SDQ[55:48]

 

 

 

SDQS[5] -> SDQ[47:40]

 

 

 

SDQS[4] -> SDQ[39:32]

 

 

 

SDQS[3] -> SDQ[31:24]

 

 

 

SDQS[2] -> SDQ[23:16]

 

 

 

SDQS[1] -> SDQ[15:8]

 

 

 

SDQS[0] -> SDQ[7:0]

 

 

 

 

 

SCKE[3:0]

O

Clock Enable: These pins are used to signal a self-refresh or power

 

 

SSTL_2

down command to the DDR SDRAM array when entering system

 

 

 

suspend. SCKE is also used to dynamically power down inactive DDR

 

 

 

SDRAM rows. There is one SCKE per DDR SDRAM row. These

 

 

 

signals can be toggled on every rising SCK edge.
