My Cypress rep was able to get me some design files for their example as well. But - 300 MHz will be a good challenge, even in Stratix III. We were satisfied to get 166MHz in Stratix II (we used 250MHz DDRII SRAMs, probably could have gotten 200MHz, but not much more). QDRII+ may be a little easier to use, if like DDRII+ SRAM it provides a read ack flag with read data. But that comes with the cost of 1 more cycle of latency. The read ack flag does help with the clock crossings, mainly avoiding the need to calibrate any ring buffers. \chuck
