Entering and Editing Inputs to the DTW

with the –auto_adjust_cycles option, the DTW will have the best
clock cycle settings, so you need to update the legacy controller
MegaWizard at that point if the numbers do not match.

Table 2–1

shows the relationship between the legacy controller

MegaWizard and the DTW, in terms of resynchronization clock
cycles and phase shifts.

Figure 2–22

shows the DTW page for postamble clock connectivity.

The name of the PLL output driving the read postamble reset
control clock can come from the system PLL (when using 1-PLL
mode) or the fedback PLL (when using the fedback-clock mode).
Similar to the the resync_cycle field, the postamble_cycle
field is calculated by DTW when using the fedback-clock mode, but
is from the legacy controller MegaWizard when using one PLL only.
The postamble_phase is the postamble phase shift you entered in
legacy controller MegaWizard when you created the data path or
controller.

For new designs targeting memory interfaces higher than 200 MHz, Altera recommends using the
high-performance controller featuring the ALTMEMPHY megafunction in the Quartus II software.
