17 years agoApplication of SSTL-18 class1 on communication between FPGA&DDR2
Now I am design my development kit , the FPGA I am using is Stratix 2'S device EP2S180F1020C5N , I will use DDR2 soDIMM on my development . So , according to the Handbook , I must use the SSTL-18 cl...

17 years agoWonder if Altera Applicatio Note (AN328) would help you on this ...
http://www.altera.com/technology/memory/devices/stratix2-2gx/mem-stratix2-2gx.html I found below msg in that application notes: On the FPGA side, Altera recommends the Series 25 Ohm without Calibration OCT setting for bi-directional signals (such as DQ and DQS) and the Series 50 Ohm without Calibration OCT setting for unidirectional output signals to the memory (such as DM and address/command). If there are multiple loads on certain FPGA output pins (for example, when the address bus is driven to multiple memory devices on a DIMM), you may prefer to use the maximum drive strength setting over the series OCT setting. Note that when using the OCT feature on the FPGA, the programmable drive strength feature is unavailable. Looks like you need to add series resistors on your signal traces.
