Occasional ContributorAny layout guide for EP4CE15M9I7N for DDR2 routing?
As it's very small pintch 0.5mm, and we need to consider impedance match, it's not easy to route the trace. Any layout guide line?
In the pinout file, it defines T3 of Bank3 as DQS.
1） Only this pin can be used as DQS?
2) DQS pin of DDR2 ram is differential, why it specified only one pin?
Regular ContributorHi XShen1,
Unfortunately, the layout for the EPACE15M9I7N is not available.
The PIN_T7 should be assigned as DQS pin location.
But if you find that the DQS is differential, you can let the Quartus to assign the other pin location during the Fitter compilation.
The DDR2 interface are differential or single ended.

Occasional ContributorI still see below problem.
1) If use single end, at least 2 DQS are needed for 16 bit DDR2. Why only pin T7 is assigned?
2) If use differential, another pin should R7 as pair of T7, but it's already assigned to DQ signal.
Regular ContributorHi XShen1,
I've referred to internal team and confirm that the device is only supported the single ended data strobe.
I hope that answer your question.

Occasional ContributorThank you, you answered 50%. For 16 bit, there are 2 DQS even single end, but there is only 1 DQS pin assigned in pinout file, this is the other question.
Regular ContributorHi Xshen1,
When you're using the DQ X16 configuration, there should be only one DQS within that DQ Group.
Thanks,
Adzim
