USE_DQ_OE_DELAY_

CHAIN2

Enables <IO>

_OE_DELAY_CHAIN2

(D6) in the DQ OE

path. This parameter is used for deskew purposes or
SSN reduction. D6 is a run-time adjustable delay chain.

For more information about configuring delay chains
dynamically, refer to

“Delay Chains” on page 4–15

DQ_OE_REG_MODE

Enables the full-rate DQ output-enable registers
(<IO>

_OE_FF

or <IO>

_OE_DDIO_OE

registers).

Select FF if you want flip-flop registers or DDIO if you
want double data rate I/O registers.

IO Clock Divider

Core,
‘dqs_bus_ou

Inverted
‘dqs_bus_ou
t’ port

IO_CLOCK_DIVIDER_

CLK_SOURCE

Specifies the I/O clock divider clock source which can be
from the Core (FPGA), the ‘dqs_bus_out’ port (DQS
input path), or the Inverted ‘dqs_bus_out’ port (DQS
input path).

Altera recommends that you turn on the ‘dqs_bus_out’
port
option to clock the DQ input register. When reading
from the external memory, the DQ data that comes from
the full-rate DQ input registers must be synchronized to
the half-rate input block, if half-rate interfaces are used.
If the full-rate DQ input registers are clocked by the DQS
input path via the

dqs_bus_out

port, then the I/O

clock divider (and other clock source settings) must also
be clocked via the

dqs_bus_out

port.

Create
‘io_clock_divider
_masterin’ input
port

USE_IO_CLOCK_

DIVIDER_MASTERIN

Enables the

masterin

input to synchronize this divider

with another I/O clock divider. If you turn off this option,
this divider operates independently. This mode is meant
for the master divider of a group of dividers. Turn on this
parameter when you chain the I/O clock divider blocks
from multiple ALTDQ_DQS instances.

Create
‘io_clock_divider
_clkout’ output
port

Divides the clock output signal by two. The clock out
signal can be connected to the clock input of a half-rate
Input block or fed to the FPGA core.
