Table 2–55
lists the SSRAM component reference and manufacturing information.
Flash
The flash interface consists of a single synchronous flash memory device, providing
64 Mbyte interface with a 16-bit data bus. This device is part of the shared FSM Bus,
which connects to flash memory, SSRAM, and the Max II CPLD EPM2210 System
Controller.
The parameter blocks of this device are located at the bottom of the address space. The
parameter blocks are 32 K and main blocks are 128 K.
This 16-bit data memory interface can sustain burst read operations at up to 52 MHz
for a throughput of 832 Mbps. The write performance is 125 µs for a single word and
440 µs for a 32-word buffer. The erase time is 400 ms for a 32 K parameter block and
1200 ms for a 128 K main block.
Table 2–56
lists the flash pin assignments, signal names, and functions. The signal
names and types are relative to the Stratix IV GX device in terms of I/O setting and
direction.
