Cyclone IV Devices Memory Interfaces Pin Support
Cyclone IV devices use data (DQ), data strobe (DQS), clock, command, and address
pins to interface with external memory. Some memory interfaces use the data mask
(DM) or byte write select (BWS#) pins to enable data masking. This section describes
how Cyclone IV devices support all these different pins.

For more information about pin utilization, refer to
Volume 2: Device, Pin, and Board
of the
External Memory Interface Handbook.
Data and Data Clock/Strobe Pins
Cyclone IV data pins for external memory interfaces are called D for write data, Q for
read data, or
DQ
for shared read and write data pins. The read-data strobes or read
clocks are called
DQS
pins. Cyclone IV devices support both bidirectional data strobes
and unidirectional read clocks. Depending on the external memory standard, the
DQ
and
DQS
are bidirectional signals (in DDR2 and DDR SDRAM) or unidirectional
signals (in QDR II SRAM). Connect the bidirectional
DQ
data signals to the same
Cyclone IV devices
DQ
pins. For unidirectional
D
or
Q
signals, connect the read-data
signals to a group of
DQ
pins and the write-data signals to a different group of
DQ
pins.

In QDR II SRAM, the Q read-data group must be placed at a different V
REF
bank
location from the D write-data group, command, or address pins.
