How do I connect Intel® FPGA DDR4 PHY-Only IP with the DFI compliant Custom DDR4 Controller?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • External Memory Interfaces Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    The DFI-compliant custom DDR4 Controller IP doesn’t have the same IO pins as Intel® FPGA DDR4 Controller IP. Please follow the solution to implement the DDR4 EMIF interface with the DFI-compliant custom DDR4 controller IP and Intel® FPGA DDR4 PHY-Only IP.

    Resolution

    The RAS/CAS/WE signals are multiplexed with address signals A[16:14] using the ACT signal per DDR4 protocol. The AFI bus provides raw access to these pins.

    The customer needs to use some small adaptation logic: map the AFI signals corresponding to A[16:14] to the DFI_ADDRESS signals for A[16:14] when ACT_N is low and to RAS/CAS/WE when ACT_N is high.
