EMIF - ref_clk from a bank other than address control and share that ref clock for 2 EMIF instances
Hi,
I am using a Stratix 10 1SG10MHN3F74C2LG dual die FPGA on our board. Each die has two EMIF instances. Each EMIF instance uses reference clock fed from the clk pins in the address control IO Bank.
FPGA - Stratix 10 1SG10MHN3F74C2LG
Below are the current banks for each EMIF instance and their reference clock pins.
Die U1 - EMIF 1 uses IO bank 2LU1, 2MU1, 2NU1 with ref_clk in bank 2MU1 at pins AC69 and AB69
Die U1 - EMIF 2 uses IO bank 2GU1, 2HU1, 2IU1 with ref_clk in bank 2MU1 at pins AV55 and AW55
Die U2 - EMIF 3 uses IO bank 2HU2, 2IU2, 2JU2 with ref_clk in bank 2IU2 at pins AW15 and AV15
Die U2 - EMIF 4 uses IO bank 2LU2, 2MU2, 2NU2 with ref_clk in bank 2MU2 at pins BM1 and BL1
Instead of the reference clock as mentioned above for each EMIF instance, I want to to use reference clock in some other bank in each die and share it between two EMIF in that die.
Below is the bank and pin number for the reference clock from the each die
Die U1 - Bank 2KU1 - pins AK67 and AK68
Die U2 - Bank 3DU2 - pins T25 and U25
Please let me know if we can replace the existing reference clocks with the reference clock from other bank for each die and use the same reference for both the EMIF instances. If this is possible, how can it be done.
Best,
Bharat
Hi Bharat,
Unfortunately, the ref_clk need to be placed within the Address and Command group.
Sharing the pin to other EMIF IP is permitted but need to follow the rules.
