    Subject: [oc] DDR SDRAM Question
    Top
    Hi Shehryar,

    I suppose that you are refering to the
    http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/ddr_sdr/overview
    core. I only looked at the key features on that page and it indeed
    mentions unidirectional DQS support (write only). This is NOT uncommon
    for FPGA DDR interfaces, though I also find this a pitty. The truth
    is.....the read for a DDR interface and using the DQS is really the pain of
    making a decent DDR interface.

    It is also possible to perform reads without using the DQS by simply
    using the relation between the CK, /CK and the read data. The FPGA
    clocks in the data often by using a phase shifted version of the CK,/CK
    clock. So it can work, but closing the timing requirements (including the
    PCB trace length requirements) is more difficult and therefore often
    slower.

    Best regards,

    Ralph
