Performing a timing simulation with Stratix II device family.

I found some simulation design examples which can aid in your third party simulators such as Modelsim-Altera or Modelsim SE/PE. Here is a link:

There are scripts within the *.zip file which will allow you to run a *.do file that automatically sets up your simulation.

    Are there any DDR2 examples which shows a quick way to set up simulation environment with ModelSim?

    I am using a Altera generated DDR2 controller and datapath with Micron memory

    I haven't been able to find a DDR2 controller with Micron Memory Simulation for Modelsim on the web either.

    Although, I have simulated this before. Please let me look through my hard drive and I will see if I can dig up something for you. :)

    Hi guys,

    Do either of you have a memory model for Modelsim. I can adjust timing in DDr2 if needed.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay, but I finally found a DDR2 design example. I believe that this design example targetted a StratixIIGX device and a Micron model.

    I have attached my_design.zip for your reference. Currently, you can run the simulation using Modelsim-Altera 6.1g by following these steps:

    1) Unzip the zip file to a location on your hard drive

    2) Start up the Modelsim-Altera 6.1g software

    3) In Modelsim-Altera, go to the file menu -> change directory -> and browse to the "<location where you unzip the .zip file>\simulation\modelsim", and click ok

    4) Go to the Tools menu -> execute macro -> run.do

    This should setup the simulation automatically for you if you run the script "run.do". I hope this helps!

    FYI, I had to delete a bunch of files so that I would meet the maximum size attachment. Let me know if there are some file's missing, I can find those files and attach it for you if you are unable to run the simulation.
