5.7.2DDR2 Memory Controller

The DDR2 / mDDR Memory Controller is a dedicated interface to DDR2 / mDDR SDRAM. It supports JESD79D-2A standard compliant DDR2 SDRAM devices and compliant Mobile DDR SDRAM devices. DDR2 / mDDR SDRAM plays a key role in a DM355-based system. Such a system is expected to require a significant amount of high-speed external memory for all of the following functions:

Buffering of input image data from sensors or video sources

Intermediate buffering for processing/resizing of image data in the VPFE

Numerous OSD display buffers

Intermediate buffering for large raw Bayer data image files while performing image processing functions

Buffering for intermediate data while performing video encode and decode functions

Storage of executable code for the ARM
