ASIC Implementation of DDR SDRAM Memory Controller
© 2016 IJEDR | Volume 4, Issue 4 | ISSN: 2321-9939 ASIC Implementation of DDR SDRAM Memory Controller Ramagiri Ramya, Naganaik M.Tech Scholar, ASST.PROF, HOD of ECE BRIG-IC, Hyderabad ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract - A Dedicated Memory Controller is of prime importance in applications that do not contain microprocessors (high-end applications). The Memory Controller provides command signals for memory refresh, read and write operation and initialization of SDRAM. Our work will focus on ASIC Design methodology of Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM Controller that is located between the DDR SDRAM and Bus Master. The Controller simplifies the SDRAM command interface to standard system read/write interface and also optimizes the access time of read/write cycle. Keywords - DDR SDRAM Controller, Read/Write Data path, Cadence RTL Compiler. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Memory devices are almost found in all systems and nowadays high speed and high performance memories are in great demand. For better throughput and speed, the controllers are to be designed with clock frequency in the range of megahertz. As the clock speed of the controller is increasing, the design challenges are also becoming complex. Therefore the next generation memory devices require very high speed controllers like double data rate and quad data rate memory controllers. In this paper, the double data rate SDRAM Controller is implemented using ASIC methodology. Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) is preferred in embedded system memory design because of its speed and pipelining capability. In high-end applications, like microprocessors there will be specific built in peripherals to provide the interface to the SDRAM. But for other applications, the system designer must design a specific memory controller to provide command signals for memory refresh, read and write operation and initialization of SDRAM. -

5. Dual-DIMM DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM Board Design Guidelines June 2012 EMI_DG_005-4.1 EMI_DG_005-4.1 This chapter describes guidelines for implementing dual unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM interfaces. This chapter discusses the impact on signal integrity of the data signal with the following conditions in a dual-DIMM configuration: ■ Populating just one slot versus populating both slots ■ Populating slot 1 versus slot 2 when only one DIMM is used ■ On-die termination (ODT) setting of 75 Ω versus an ODT setting of 150 Ω f For detailed information about a single-DIMM DDR2 SDRAM interface, refer to the DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM Board Design Guidelines chapter. DDR2 SDRAM This section describes guidelines for implementing a dual slot unbuffered DDR2 SDRAM interface, operating at up to 400-MHz and 800-Mbps data rates. Figure 5–1 shows a typical DQS, DQ, and DM signal topology for a dual-DIMM interface configuration using the ODT feature of the DDR2 SDRAM components. Figure 5–1.

A Modern Primer on Processing in Memory
A Modern Primer on Processing in Memory Onur Mutlua,b, Saugata Ghoseb,c, Juan Gomez-Luna´ a, Rachata Ausavarungnirund SAFARI Research Group aETH Z¨urich bCarnegie Mellon University cUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign dKing Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok Abstract Modern computing systems are overwhelmingly designed to move data to computation. This design choice goes directly against at least three key trends in computing that cause performance, scalability and energy bottlenecks: (1) data access is a key bottleneck as many important applications are increasingly data-intensive, and memory bandwidth and energy do not scale well, (2) energy consumption is a key limiter in almost all computing platforms, especially server and mobile systems, (3) data movement, especially off-chip to on-chip, is very expensive in terms of bandwidth, energy and latency, much more so than computation. These trends are especially severely-felt in the data-intensive server and energy-constrained mobile systems of today. At the same time, conventional memory technology is facing many technology scaling challenges in terms of reliability, energy, and performance. As a result, memory system architects are open to organizing memory in different ways and making it more intelligent, at the expense of higher cost. The emergence of 3D-stacked memory plus logic, the adoption of error correcting codes inside the latest DRAM chips, proliferation of different main memory standards and chips, specialized for different purposes (e.g., graphics, low-power, high bandwidth, low latency), and the necessity of designing new solutions to serious reliability and security issues, such as the RowHammer phenomenon, are an evidence of this trend. -
AN 436: Using DDR3 SDRAM in Stratix III and Stratix IV Devices.Pdf
AN 436: Using DDR3 SDRAM in Stratix III and Stratix IV Devices © November 2008 AN-436-4.0 Introduction DDR3 SDRAM is the latest generation of DDR SDRAM technology, with improvements that include lower power consumption, higher data bandwidth, enhanced signal quality with multiple on-die termination (ODT) selection and output driver impedance control. DDR3 SDRAM brings higher memory performance to a broad range of applications, such as PCs, embedded processor systems, image processing, storage, communications, and networking. Although DDR2 SDRAM is currently the more popular SDRAM, to save system power and increase system performance you should consider using DDR3 SDRAM. DDR3 SDRAM offers lower power by using 1.5 V for the supply and I/O voltage compared to the 1.8-V supply and I/O voltage used by DDR2 SDRAM. DDR3 SDRAM also has better maximum throughput compared to DDR2 SDRAM by increasing the data rate per pin and the number of banks (8 banks are standard). 1 The Altera® ALTMEMPHY megafunction and DDR3 SDRAM high-performance controller only support local interfaces running at half the rate of the memory interface. Altera Stratix® III and Stratix IV devices support DDR3 SDRAM interfaces with dedicated DQS, write-, and read-leveling circuitry. Table 1 displays the maximum clock frequency for DDR3 SDRAM in Stratix III devices. Table 1.

E2G1059-39-21 ¡ Semiconductor MSM5718C50/MD5764802This version: Feb. 1999 ¡ Semiconductor Previous version: Nov. 1998 MSM5718C50/MD5764802 18Mb (2M ´ 9) & 64Mb (8M ´ 8) Concurrent RDRAM DESCRIPTION The 18/64-Megabit Concurrent Rambus™ DRAMs (RDRAM®) are extremely high-speed CMOS DRAMs organized as 2M or 8M words by 8 or 9 bits. They are capable of bursting unlimited lengths of data at 1.67 ns per byte (13.3 ns per eight bytes). The use of Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology permits 600 MHz transfer rates while using conventional system and board design methodologies. Low effective latency is attained by operating the two or four 2KB sense amplifiers as high speed caches, and by using random access mode (page mode) to facilitate large block transfers. Concurrent (simultaneous) bank operations permit high effective bandwidth using interleaved transactions. RDRAMs are general purpose high-performance memory devices suitable for use in a broad range of applications including PC and consumer main memory, graphics, video, and any other application where high-performance at low cost is required. FEATURES • Compatible with Base RDRAMs • 600 MB/s peak transfer rate per RDRAM • Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) interface • Synchronous, concurrent protocol for block-oriented, interleaved (overlapped) transfers • 480 MB/s effective bandwidth for random 32 byte transfers from one RDRAM • 13 active signals require just 32 total pins on the controller interface (including power) • 3.3 V operation • Additional/multiple Rambus Channels each provide an additional 600 MB/s bandwidth • Two or four 2KByte sense amplifiers may be operated as caches for low latency access • Random access mode enables any burst order at full bandwidth within a page • Graphics features include write-per-bit and mask-per-bit operations • Available in horizontal surface mount plastic package (SHP32-P-1125-0.65-K) 1/45 ¡ Semiconductor MSM5718C50/MD5764802 PART NUMBERS The 18- and 64-Megabit RDRAMs are available in horizontal surface mount plastic package (SHP), with 533 and 600 MHz clock rate.
