3.1.1.5. Memory Clock Pins

At the external memory device, the memory clock signals (CK and CK#) are used to capture the address signals, and the control or command signals.

In MAX® 10 devices, the double data rate I/O (DDIO) registers are used to generate the CK/CK# signals.

The memory clock pins are predefined and are listed in the device pinout files. Refer to the relevant device pinout files to determine the locations of the memory clock pins.
