controller.

Calibration Guidelines

The Altera PHYLite for Parallel Interfaces IP core allows you to dynamically reconfigure the features of

the interface. However, performing calibration is an application specific process. This section provides

some general guidelines for calibrating the Arria 10 I/O architecture.

Strobe Enable Windowing

The read FIFO has the read pointer reset when reads are far apart (80 core clock cycles). However, the

data inside the FIFO is not cleared. Therefore, an alternating pattern should be used to find the end to the

strobe enable window to avoid erroneous correct reads due to stale data in the FIFO.
The strobe enable turns itself off on the last negative edge of the strobe. Therefore, while finding the

enable window, use extra dummy pulses (either extended strobe or reads from memory without asserting

the

rdata_en

signal) to clear the strobe enable.
