Note: The PLL reference clock must be driven by I/O pads. The Efinity

software issues
a warning if you do not connect the reference clock to an I/O pad. (Using the clock tree
may induce additional jitter and degrade the DDR performance.) Refer to About the
PLL Interface on page 121 for more information about the PLL block.

Signal Direction Description
A[5:0] Output Address signals to the memories.
CS_N[3:0] Output Chip Select to memories.
CKE[1:0] Output Active-high clock enable signals to the memories.
RST_N Output Active-low reset signals to the memories.
CK Output
CK_N Output
Differential active-high clock signals to/from the memories.
DQ[n:0] Bidirectional Data bus to/from the memories. For writes, the pad drives these signals.
For reads, the memory drives these signals. These signals are connected
to the DQ inputs on the memories. n is 15 or 31 depending on the DQ
Width Configuration setting.
DQS_N[n:0] Bidirectional
DQS[n:0] Bidirectional
Differential data strobes to/from the memories. For writes, the pad drives
these signals. For reads, the memory drives these signals. These signals
are connected to the DQS inputs on the memories. n is 1, 1:0, or 3:0
depending on the DQ width.
DM[n] Bidirectional Active-high data-mask signals to the memories. n is 1, 1:0, or 3:0
depending on the DQ width.
