DDR3 SDRAM Controller Page 1 of 2 Home > Products > Intellectual Property > Lattice IP Cores > DDR3 SDRAM Controller DDR3 SDRAM Controller Overview The Lattice Double Data Rate (DDR3) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Controller is a general-purpose memory controller that interfaces with industry standard DDR3 memory devices/modules compliant with JESD79-3, DDR3 SDRAM Standard, and provides a generic command interface to user applications. The DDR3 SDRAM is the next-generation DDR SDRAM memory technology which features faster speed, mitigated SSO, and reduced routing due to “fly-by” routing signals to SDRAM instead of low skew tree distribution. This core reduces the effort required to integrate the DDR3 memory controller with the remainder of the application and minimizes the need to directly deal with the DDR3 memory interface. Features Support for all LatticeECP3 “EA” devices Programmable CAS Write Latency Interfaces to Industry Standard DDR3 SDRAM components and modules compliant with JESD79-3, DDR3 SDRAM Standard Read burst type of nibble sequential or interleave Interfaces to DDR3 SDRAM at speeds up to 400 MHz / 800 Mbps in -8 speed grade devices Supports memory data path widths of -8, -16, -24, -32, -40, -48, -56, -64 and -72 bits Supports x4, x8, and x16 device configurations Support for unbuffered DDR3 DIMM and DDR3 RDIMM module Supports automatic DDR3 SDRAM initialization and refresh Automatic Write Leveling for each DQS for DIMM applications. Option to switch of write leveling for On-board memory applications. Supports Power Down Mode Supports Dynamic On-Die Termination (ODT) controls Termination Data Strobe (TDQS) for x8 widths only Supports up to one DIMM and two ranks per DIMM LatticeECP3 I/O primitives manage read skews (Read Leveling equivalent) Programmable burst lengths of 8 (fixed), chopped 4 or 8 (on-the-fly), or chopped 4 (fixed) Automatic Programmable Interval Refresh or User Initiated Refresh Programmable CAS latency Option for controlling memory reset outside the controller The DDR3 SDRAM Controller is available as an IPexpress user configurable IP core, which allows the configuration of the IP and generation of a netlist and simulation file for use in designs. Please note that generating a bitstream may be prevented or the bitstream may have time logic present unless a license for the IP is purchased. http://www.latticesemi.com/products/intellectualproperty/ipcores/ddr3sdramcontroller.cfm 10/10/2011 DDR3 SDRAM Controller Page 2 of 2 Performance and Resource Utilization LatticeECP31, 2 SLICEs LUTs Registers I/O fMAX (MHz) Data Bus Width: 8 (x8) 1741 2526 1772 42 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 16 (x8) 1924 2672 2096 53 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 24 (x8) 2108 2800 2439 64 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 32 (x8) 2303 2913 2789 75 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 40 (x8) 2298 2966 2692 86 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 48 (x8) 2438 3055 2909 97 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 56 (x8) 2553 3114 3123 108 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 64 (x8) 2683 3224 3329 119 400 MHz (800 Mbps) Data Bus Width: 72 (x8) 2820 3399 3477 130 333 MHz (666 Mbps) Parameters 1. Performance and utilization data are generated targeting an LFE3-150EA-8FN1156C device using Lattice Diamond 1.2 software. Performance may vary when using a different software version or targeting a different device density or speed grade within the LatticeECP3 family. 2. EA silicon support only. 3. The DDR3 IP core can operate at 400 MHz (800 DDR3) in the fastest speed-grade (-8) when the data width is 64 bits or less and one chip select is used. 4. I/O count includes only the primary I/O (memory side I/O).
