Reduce the DDR clock below 300 MHz

Hi

I use Quartus 20.3 pro for Stratix10 FPGA, DDR3 1600.

need to config clock below 300MHz at the IP.

at the DDR datasheet I found that I can run it slower.

I have attached the error I received, is it possible to configure the IP to support slower clock?

Thanks.

    HI,


    Yup, as you can see from your own error screenshot, it's not supported.


    Thanks.

    Are you saying you want to drive the external memory at a lower speed or run the internal logic at a lower speed? The internal logic runs, based on your current setting, at 1/4 the speed (quarter rate mode) of the external memory clock. If you're saying you want to run the external memory at a lower speed, then you can't, as the message indicates.
