2.15.2 Signal Description
Please refer to the Mercury ZX1 SoC Module FPGA Pinout Excel Sheet [4] for detailed information on the
DDR3 SDRAM connections.
2.15.3 Termination
Warning!
No external termination is implemented on the Mercury ZX1 SoC module. Therefore, it is strongly
recommended to enable the on-die termination (ODT) feature of the DDR3 SDRAM device.
2.15.4 Parameters
Please refer to the Mercury ZX1 SoC module reference design [2] for DDR3 settings guidelines. The DDR3
SDRAM parameters and the DDR3 board timing information to be set in Vivado project are presented in
Tables 22 and 23.
The values given in Table 22 are for reference only. Depending on the equipped memory device on the
Mercury ZX1 SoC module and on the DDR3 SDRAM frequency, the configuration may be different to the
one in the reference design. Please refer to the memory device datasheet for details.
