DDR2 Throughput
The following sections provide information needed to configure the
DDR2 interface for the desired throughput.
DMA Throughput
Table 3-31 provides approximate throughput information with the pro-
cessor core running at 400 MHz for DMA-driven reads and writes of
external DDR2 memory. The throughput numbers shown are measured
by running chained DMA with four TCBs (with 256 32-bit words per
transfer block).
For the analysis, 16 bit DDR2 is used (t

=10, t
RRD

MRD

RCD

WTR

RP

RAS

Throughput is calculated by measuring time between the instant when
DMA is enabled and instant when DMA completion ISR is entered.
Core Throughput
Table 3-32 provides approximate throughput information with the pro-
cessor core running at 400 MHz for core-driven reads and writes of
Table 3-31. DMA Throughput, 400 MHz Core Clock
