10 years agoPLL does not lock anymore after connecting DDR3
Hi
I'm designing a system with an NIOS and a DDR3 HMI. The fist shot was to implement the NIOS with internal RAM and a PLL. The PLL generates 50MHz from my connected 25MHz crystal. This setup works fine, and the Hello World from NIOS works as well. Now I would like to have the DDR3 SDRAM running. But since I intergated the DDR3, my PLL doesn't lock anymore!! The refclock for the DDR3 is directly from the 25MHz crystal and i can see the 355MHz AFI is coming out (with a scope). I tried to connect the PLL for the Nios to -directly the same 25MHz-Pin as the DDR3 -At the AFI 355MHz output But the PLL does not lock! Not at 50MHz or at 71MHz which would be 355/5 Thanks for any advice
