Patch created on December 10 2010 Patch SPR#: 361227 SPRs fixed: 361195 //**************************************************************** Problem: Arria II ALTMEMPHY Memory Interface IP captures data from the memory device into DDIO input registers using DQS. Once the data is captured the data must be resynchronized to a known clock domain using a resynchronization register. To obtain the highest margin on this transfer a resynchronization register is available in the periphery of the device near the DDIO input registers, however, due to the reset states of the DDIO input and resynchronization registers the resynchronization register does not get placed in the periphery but instead gets placed in the core reducing resynchronization margin and possibly resulting in failing read commands. The Quartus II Fitter places the resynchronization register in the core because the ALTMEMPHY Memory Interface IP chooses to reset the resynchronization register to a logic-1 while the DDIO in register is reset to a logic-0. With the differences in the reset state, the design is synthesized with an inverter before and after the resynchronization register, and thus cannot be placed in the periphery. Solution: The solution provided in the patch changes the reset state of the resynchronization register to a logic-0 thus providing for both the resynchronization and DDIO input registers to reset to the same value and thus no inverter is synthesized between the two registers and the Quartus II Fitter can place the resynchronization register in the periphery. Caution - You must either have previously installed the Quartus II 10.0 SP1 software or must install the Quartus II 10.0 SP1 software before installing this patch. Otherwise, the patch will not be installed correctly and the Quartus II software will not run properly.
