Type

DDR0_​DQ[7:0][[7:0]]

Data Buses: Data signals interface to the SDRAM data buses.

Example: DDR0_​DQ2[5] refers to DDR channel 0, Byte 2, Bit 5.

DDR0_​DQSP[7:0]

DDR0_​DQSN[7:0]

Data Strobes: Differential data strobe pairs. The data is captured at the crossing point of DQS during reading and write transactions.

Example: DDR0_​DQSP0 refers to DQSP of DDR channel 0, Byte 0.

DDR0_​CLKN[1:0]

DDR0_​CLKP[1:0]

SDRAM Differential Clock: Differential clocks signal pairs, pair per rank. The crossing of the positive edge and the negative edge of their complement are used to sample the command and control signals on the SDRAM.

Diff

DDR0_​CKE[1:0]

Clock Enable: (1 per rank). These signals are used to:

  • Initialize the SDRAMs during power-up.
  • Power-down SDRAM ranks.
  • Place all SDRAM ranks into and out of self-refresh during STR (Suspend to RAM).

DDR0_​MA[16:0]

Address: These signals are used to provide the multiplexed row and column address to the SDRAM.

DDR0_​MA[16] uses as RAS# signal

DDR0_​MA[15] uses as CAS# signal

DDR0_​MA[14] uses as WE# signal

DDR4

SE

DDR0_​BG[1:0]

Bank Group: BG[1:0] define to which bank group an Active, reading, Write or Precharge command is being applied.

BG0 also determines which mode register is to be accessed during a MRS cycle.

O

DDR4

SE

DDR0_​BA[1:0]

Bank Address: BA[1:0] define to which bank an Active, reading, Write or Precharge command is being applied. Bank address also determines which mode

register is to be accessed during a MRS cycle.
