Course Description
Learn about Altera’s high-performance external memory interface IP & how to implement an interface with the Quartus® II software v. 12.0. The course includes lecture & lab exercises to learn the design flows, options, & challenges in creating such an interface. The class focuses on implementing DDR3 interfaces using Stratix® series devices including specific information about Stratix V implementations. However, DDR/DDR2, RLDRAM II, SRAM, & QDRII/+ memory types, as well as other device families, such as the Cyclone® V & Arria® V series devices will also be touched upon. You will create & simulate a fully functional DDR3 SDRAM controller with auto-calibrating PHY block (UniPHY) interface running at 533 MHz & program it onto a Stratix® IV GX development kit.At Course Completion
You will be able to:- Implement external memory interfaces, including hard memory controllers in Stratix V, Cyclone V & Arria V devices
- Implement high performance controller & PHY (UniPHY) using the MegaWizard® manager
- Verify controller functionality with ModelSim®
- Close timing on your design
- Connect your own logic to the controller or connect your own controller to UniPHY
- Use the External Memory Interface Toolkit to analyze & report on memory calibration & margins
- Implement multiple controllers
