16 years agoconnect mobile DDR to cyclone iii
Can cyclone iii connect to the mobile DDR without the resistors(used to reduce the EMI)? Thank you.

16 years agoI'm using DDR2 ICs without any impedance control at all, you just need to keep the IC very close to the FPGA, my longest trace is about 0.4". The only one that you do really need is the 100R differential termination on the CLK+/- pair. Obviously you can only have one IC per bus. I have one on the top bus and one on the bottom bus of a Cyclone III, and have tested thoroughly with a ep3c40 and ep3c16 at 165MHz.
