Hardware Description
R
DDR SDRAM SODIMM Memory
The ML455 board contains a 200-pin, small-outline dual in-line memory module
(SODIMM) connector (J4) that supports installation of DDR SDRAM SODIMM memory
modules of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB. Xilinx provides a 128 MB memory SODIMM
Micron Semiconductor part number MT8VDDT1664HDG-265B3, with the kit.
provides a description of the memory interface signal descriptions, SODIMM connector
pin assignments, and associated FPGA pin assignments.
The ML455 board does not support a 72-bit DDR data interface required for parity or error
correction codes (ECC).
Characteristics of the DDR SDRAM SODIMM (provided with the kit):
•
Organization 16M x 64 bit
•
Memory clock speed 7.5 ns/133 MHz
•
CAS latency 2.5
•
2.5V I/O (Stub-Series Terminated Logic (SSTL2) compatible)
The data sheet for the DDR SDRAM Small Outline DIMM memory module kit can be
obtained from Micron Semiconductor at
www.micron.com/products/modules
. Contact
Micron for availability of other compatible products, including device capacity, clock
speeds, and CAS latency options, in the 200-pin SODIMM form factor.
The ML455 board memory interface design includes on board 50
Ω
termination resistors to
V
TT
, at both the FPGA and SODIMM ends of the interface, for the 64 bit bidirectional DQ
data-bus and the 8 bit bidirectional DQS signals. The address and control signals have 50
Ω
termination resistors to V
TT
at the SODIMM end of the interface. The SODIMM provides a
120
Ω
termination network for the differential clock inputs. The Xilinx Digitally Controlled
Impedance (DCI) standard SSTL2_I_DCI can be utilized to terminate unidirectional
address and control signals transmitted by the FPGA. External 50
Ω
reference resistors are
provided to VRN and VRP for the memory interface banks 7 and 8 of the XC4VLX25
FPGA. See the Virtex-4
User Guide
for additional information on DCI.
