DDR2/DDR SDRAM Full-Rate Controller
The following section details the handshake read and handshake write function for
the DDR2/DDR SDRAM full-rate controller.
f For more information about the timing diagrams of a DDR2 SDRAM
High-Performance controller, refer to the Timing Diagrams chapter in the DDR and
DDR2 SDRAM High-Performance Controllers and ALTMEMPHY IP User Guide.
Handshake Mechanism Between Read Commands and Read Data
Figure 3–14 shows the read operation for a full-rate controller. The handshake
mechanism remains similar to that of the half-rate controller except for the following
differences:
1. 1T versus 2T addressing.
As the burst size is fixed at four on the memory interface, and also the address and
command datapath is based on 1T addressing, it takes two memory clock cycles to
retrieve the data from the memory for each read command, see Figure 3–14. The
first memory cycle is the read command and the second memory cycle is the NOP
command. Because of this arrangement, you see a NOP command between the
read commands.
2. Assertion of the chip select signal.
The chip select signal is asserted along with the read command because of the 1T
addressing.
