7.3.3.5. QDR IV SRAM Data, DINV, and QVLD Signals

The read data is edge-aligned with the QKA or QKB# clocks while the write data is center-aligned with the DKA and DKB# clocks.
QK is shifted by the DLL so that the clock edges can be used to clock in the DQ at the capture register.

The synchronous read/write input, RWx#, is used in conjunction with the synchronous load input, LDx#, to indicate a Read or Write Operation. For port A, these signals are sampled on the rising edge of CK clock, for port B, these signals are sampled on the falling edge of CK clock.

QDR IV SRAM devices have the ability to invert all data pins to reduce potential simultaneous switching noise, using the Data Inversion Pin for DQ Data Bus, DINVx. This pin indicates whether DQx pins are inverted or not.

To enable the data pin inversion feature, go to the Option Control parameters in the Configuration Register Settings section of the Memory tab in the parameter editor.

QDR IV SRAM devices also have a QVLD pin which indicates valid read data. The QVLD signal is edge-aligned with QKx or QKx# and is high approximately one-half clock cycle before data is output from the memory.

Note: The Intel® ZFPGA external memory interface IP does not use the QVLD signal.
