External Memory PHY Interface (ALTMEMPHY) (nonAFI) Megafunction User Guide

ctl_refresh_ack

input

1

The active-high valid signal from the controller
acknowledging the refresh request. The
ALTMEMPHY sequencer logic uses
ctl_refresh_ack

during calibration.

ctl_refresh_req

output

1

The output to the controller requesting a refresh.
Same timing as local_refresh_req.

ctl_burstbegin

output

1

The output to the controller indicating the start of a
burst. Only available for the Avalon-MM interface.

ctl_rdata

input

LOCAL_IF_

DWIDTH

The read data from the controller. The ALTMEMPHY
sequencer logic uses ctl_rdata during
calibration. ctl_rdata has the same timing as
local_rdata

.

ctl_rdata_valid

input

1

The active-high valid signal for the controller read
data. Asserted coincident with the read data on
ctl_rdata

. The controller drives

ctl_rdata_valid

and has the same timing as

local_rdata_valid

.

ctl_add_1t_odt_lat

input

1

When asserted, one extra address and command
clock cycle (1T) of latency is inserted in the address
and command ODT path if ODT_ADD_1T is set to
EXT_SELECT

, see

“Handshake Mechanism

Between Write Commands and Write Data” on
page 3–49

.

The timing of the mem_odt signal can be controlled
in the same way as mem_addr, but is independent
of the address and command latency. If the
ODT_ADD_1T

parameter is set to EXT_SELECT,

an extra cycle of latency can be dynamically inserted
on the ODT command outputs by asserting the
ctl_add_1t_odt_lat

input, which allows

separate run-time control of the latency of the ODT
signal. If ODT_ADD_1T is set to TRUE, the extra
clock cycle of latency is always present. If
ODT_ADD_1T

is set to FALSE, the extra latency is

never added.

ctl_rlat

output

READ_LAT_

WIDTH

Unused port that exists when you target Stratix IV
and Stratix III devices. The default
READ_LAT_WIDTH

is set to 4.

ctl_self_rfsh_ack

input

1

Signal from the Altera high-performance controller
that is passed through the PHY.

ctl_powerdn_ack

input

1

ctl_autopch_req

output

1

ctl_powerdn_req

output

1

ctl_self_rfsh_req

output

1
