Figure 10-57. Generic DDR Data-Write and Data-Read Waveforms
shows the DDR SDRAM data and data strobe DQS signals exiting synchronously and in
phase during a data read. DQS signals are used to sample incoming data internally and, hence, must be
delayed to create data-setup and data-hold time at the synchronization flip-flop inputs, as shown in the
bottom waveforms of
. This is the goal of the DLL/CDL module.
Figure 10-58. Required Synchronization DFF Input Signals
10.2.4.4.11.2 DLL/CDL Module Architecture
shows how the DLL/CDL interacts with the synchronization flip-flops. See
for
more information on device pins and SDRC data-lane configurations regarding DQS.
