1IntroductionThe single data rate (SDR) synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) controller provides a simplified interface to industry standard SDR SDRAM
The SDR SDRAM Controller is available in either Verilog HDL or VHDL and is optimized for the Altera® APEX™ architecture
The SDR SDRAM Controller supports the following features:■Burst lengths of 1, 2, 4, or 8 data words■CAS latency of 2 or 3 clock cycles■16-bit programmable refresh counter used for automatic refresh■2-chip selects for SDRAM devices■Supports the NOP, READA, WRITEA, AUTO_REFRESH, PRECHARGE, ACTIVATE, BURST_STOP, and LOAD_MR commands■Support for full-page mode operation■Data mask line for write operations■PLL to increase system performance■Support fo
