Overview

The Microtronix HyperDrive Multi-port DDR2 Memory Controller IP Core brings FPGA based hardware DDR2 designs to a whole new level of performance. Built around a new DDR2 state machine memory controller which operates at half the DDR2 clock rate, the design optimizes the performance of both the FPGA fabric and I/O structures enabling 400 MHz DDR2 (800 Mbps) performance in a Stratix® II, III or IV device.The memory controller supports burst memory RD/WR access cycles and handles all memory tasks, including initialization and refresh cycles. The core integrates: a burst DDR2 memory controller core, a port arbitrator and an intelligent look-ahead FIFO controller into one easy-to-use core.The core supports up to ten independently clocked, full-rate streaming-data devices operating from one shared high bandwidth memory system.

Features

DQS data capture simplifies timing closure
Configurable FIFO size optimizes streaming video applications
Configurable memory and local bus data width
Round-robin bus arbitration
GUI auto generates SDC constraints for TimeQuest

Device Utilization and Performance

DDR2 SDRAM Controller: 600 LE's. Write/Read Port: 200/100 LE's. ECC Encoder/Decoder: 350/450 LE's.

Getting Started

Reference designs are supplied to demonstrate the use of the IP Core.
