4.2.3. AFI Write Data Signals

Write Data Signals for AFI 4.0 control the data, data mask, and strobe signals passed to the memory device during write operations.

Description

afi_dqs_burst

Input

AFI_RATE_RATIO

Controls the enable on the strobe (DQS) pins for memory devices. When this signal is asserted, mem_dqs and mem_dqsn are driven.

This signal must be asserted before afi_wdata_valid to implement the write preamble, and must be driven for the correct duration to generate a correctly timed mem_dqs signal.

afi_wdata_valid

Input

AFI_RATE_RATIO

Write data valid signal. This signal controls the output enable on the data and data mask pins.

afi_wdata

Input

AFI_DQ_WIDTH

Write data signal to send to the memory device at double-data rate. This signal controls the PHY’s mem_dq output.

afi_dm

Input

AFI_DM_WIDTH

Data mask.

Also directly controls the PHY's mem_dbi signal for DDR4.

The mem_dm and mem_dbi features share the same port on the memory device.
