Description

afi_clk

Output

1

Clock with which all data exchanged on the AFI bus is synchronized. In general, this clock is referred to as full-rate, half-rate, or quarter-rate, depending on the ratio between the frequency of this clock and the frequency of the memory device clock.

afi_half_clk

Output

1

Clock signal that runs at half the speed of the afi_clk. The controller uses this signal when the half-rate bridge feature is in use. This signal is optional.

afi_reset_n

Output

1

Asynchronous reset output signal. You must synchronize this signal to the clock domain in which you use it.
