For example i have seen that DDR Controllers have a specific memory parts to choose - i was trying to find one on Digikey - even if they are on the list, the stack is 0. Can i buy any memory, and then in DDR Controller choose one memory and adjust timings for the one that i bought? best, --- Quote End --- Depends on FPGA. SDRAM is the easiest: You can route it to any pins You want, the controller core is really small. DDR and DDR2 is harder, because there are only dedicated pins for DQ/DQS pins and controller cores are damn huge. DDR3 is not supported by Cyclone III.
