DDR) SDRAM Controller (Pipelined Version) User’S Guide
ispLever TM CORECORE Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Controller (Pipelined Version) User’s Guide June 2004 ipug12_03 Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Controller Lattice Semiconductor (Pipelined Version) User’s Guide Introduction DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM was introduced as a replacement for SDRAM memory running at bus speeds over 75MHz. DDR SDRAM is similar in function to regular SDRAM but doubles the bandwidth of the memory by transferring data twice per cycle (on both edges of the clock signal), implementing burst mode data transfer. The DDR SDRAM Controller is a parameterized core. This allows the user to modify the data widths, burst transfer rates, and CAS latency settings of the design. In addition, the DDR core supports intelligent bank management. By maintaining a database of “all banks activated” and the “rows activated” in each bank, the DDR SDRAM Controller decides if an active or pre-charge command is needed. This effectively reduces the latency of read/write com- mands issued to the DDR SDRAM. Since the DDR SDRAM Controller takes care of activating/pre-charging the banks, the user can simply issue sim- ple read/write commands without regard to the bank/charge status. Features •Performance of Greater than 100MHz (200 DDR) • Interfaces to JEDEC Standard DDR SDRAMs • Supports DDR SDRAM Data Widths of 16, 32 and 64 Bits • Supports up to 8 External Memory Banks • Programmable Burst Lengths of 2, 4, or 8 • Programmable CAS Latency of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 • Byte-level Writing Supported • Increased Throughput Using Command Pipelining and Bank Management • Supports Power-down and Self Refresh Modes •Automatic Initialization •Automatic Refresh During Normal and Power-down Modes • Timing and Settings Parameters Implemented as Programmable Registers • Bus Interfaces to PCI Target, PowerPC and AMBA (AHB) Buses Available • Complete Synchronous Implementation 2 Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Controller Lattice Semiconductor (Pipelined Version) User’s Guide Figure 1.

Design and Simulation of High Performance DDR3 SDRAM Controller
ISSN: 2394-6881 International Journal of Engineering Technology and Management (IJETM) Available Online at www.ijetm.org Volume 2, Issue 3, May-June 2015, Page No. 49-52 Design and Simulation of High Performance DDR3 SDRAM Controller Ms. Minal N. Kagdelwar1, Mrs. Priti S. Lokhande2 14thsem M.Tech Electronics Engineering KITS, Ramtek, Maharashtra, India E-mail: [email protected] 2Dept. of EE, KITS, Ramtek, Maharashtra, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The latest addition to SDRAM technology is DDR3 SDRAM. DDR3 SDRAM (Double Data Rate Three Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) uses 8n prefetch architecture. The embedded applications which need faster memories like signal processing/networking, image/video processing, digital signalling and controlling; these DDR3 devices are used commonly. DDR3 SDRAM has repetitively advanced over the years to keep up with ever-increasing work out needs. The 3rd generation of DDR memories DDR3 SDRAM that come across these demands in computing and server systems are used for high bandwidth storage of working data of a computer and other automated devices. DDR3 Memory Controller works as the interface amongst DDR3 memory and user and manages the dataflow going to and from the main memory. This paper discusses the overall architecture of the DDR3 controller along with the thorough design and operation of distinct sub blocks. To accomplish high performance at low supply voltage and reduced power consumption, this work presents new functions and defines their executions. The focus of this paper is to minimize the delay and power and thus increasing the device throughput using pipelining in the design.

Basics of the Memory System
Chapter 6 – Basics of the Memory System We now give an overview of RAM – Random Access Memory. This is the memory called “primary memory” or “core memory”. The term “core” is a reference to an earlier memory technology in which magnetic cores were used for the computer‟s memory. This discussion will pull material from a number of chapters in the textbook. Primary computer memory is best considered as an array of addressable units. Addressable units are the smallest units of memory that have independent addresses. In a byte-addressable memory unit, each byte (8 bits) has an independent address, although the computer often groups the bytes into larger units (words, long words, etc.) and retrieves that group. Most modern computers manipulate integers as 32-bit (4-byte) entities, so retrieve the integers four bytes at a time. In this author‟s opinion, byte addressing in computers became important as the result of the use of 8–bit character codes. Many applications involve the movement of large numbers of characters (coded as ASCII or EBCDIC) and thus profit from the ability to address single characters. Some computers, such as the CDC–6400, CDC–7600, and all Cray models, use word addressing. This is a result of a design decision made when considering the main goal of such computers – large computations involving integers and floating point numbers. The word size in these computers is 60 bits (why not 64? – I don‟t know), yielding good precision for numeric simulations such as fluid flow and weather prediction. Memory as a Linear Array Consider a byte-addressable memory with N bytes of memory.

Power/Performance Trade-Offs in Real-Time SDRAM Command Scheduling
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS, VOL. X, NO. Y, JANUARY 2014 1 Power/Performance Trade-offs in Real-Time SDRAM Command Scheduling Sven Goossens, Karthik Chandrasekar, Benny Akesson, and Kees Goossens Abstract—Real-time safety-critical systems should provide hard bounds on an applications’ performance. SDRAM controllers used in this domain should therefore have a bounded worst-case bandwidth, response time, and power consumption. Existing works on real-time SDRAM controllers only consider a narrow range of memory devices, and do not evaluate how their schedulers’ performance varies across memory generations, nor how the scheduling algorithm influences power usage. The extent to which the number of banks used in parallel to serve a request impacts performance is also unexplored, and hence there are gaps in the tool set of a memory subsystem designer, in terms of both performance analysis, and configuration options. This article introduces a generalized close-page memory command scheduling algorithm that uses a variable number of banks in parallel to serve a request. To reduce the schedule length for DDR4 memories, we exploit bank grouping through a pairwise bank-group interleaving scheme. The algorithm is evaluated using an ILP formulation, and provides schedules of optimal length for most of the considered LPDDR, DDR2, DDR3, LPDDR2, LPDDR3 and DDR4 devices. We derive the worst-case bandwidth, power and execution time for the same set of devices, and discuss the observed trade-offs and trends in the scheduler-configuration design space based on these metrics, across memory generations. Index Terms—dynamic random access memory (DRAM), Memory control and access, Real-time and embedded systems ! 1INTRODUCTION HE past decade has seen the introduction of many new on the worst-case performance impact of the command T SDRAM generations, in an effort to ward off the mem- scheduler and the low-level memory map that distributes ory wall problem [1].
