How does DDR4-2400 (I/O Clock as 1200MHz) achieve higher data rate of 2.4 GT/s when memory clock is only 300MHz and the data width is limited to 144 bits on an Arria10 device?

Hi,

DDR4 bandwidth calculation = DDR4 memory clock frequency x 2 x total DQ width

For instance, using your example

DDR4 BW = 300MHz x 2 x 144 = 86.4MT/s

I am not sure how does the 2.4GT/s calculation comes from

Thanks.

2.4GT/s Transfer rate =1200MHz x 2

19.2GB/s Theoretical Bandwidth = (1200MHz x 2 x 64 bit DQ) = 153.6Gb/s = 19.2GB/s
