7. External Memory Interfaces in

Cyclone IV Devices

This chapter describes the memory interface pin support and the external memory 
interface features of Cyclone

®

 IV devices.

In addition to an abundant supply of on-chip memory, Cyclone IV devices can easily 
interface with a broad range of external memory devices, including DDR2 SDRAM, 
DDR SDRAM, and QDR II SRAM. External memory devices are an important system 
component of a wide range of image processing, storage, communications, and 
general embedded applications.

1

Altera recommends that you construct all DDR2 or DDR SDRAM external memory 
interfaces using the Altera

®

 ALTMEMPHY megafunction. You can implement the 

controller function using the Altera DDR2 or DDR SDRAM memory controllers, 
third-party controllers, or a custom controller for unique application needs. 
Cyclone IV devices support QDR II interfaces electrically, but Altera does not supply 
controller or physical layer (PHY) megafunctions for QDR II interfaces.

This chapter includes the following sections:

■

“Cyclone IV Devices Memory Interfaces Pin Support” on page 7–2

■

“Cyclone IV Devices Memory Interfaces Features” on page 7–12
