Figure 3-2. DRAM Memory Map for Cyclone EP
3.4 INTERLEAVED DRAM
The Cyclone EP is initially configured with 2 Mbytes of interleaved DRAM. This memory, located in
the SIMM sockets, is upgradeable to 8 or 32 Mbytes. Figure 3-1 (pg. 3-1) shows the SIMMs and
sockets. Section 3.4.2 discusses the DRAM configuration options.
Access to this DRAM can be shared with the Squall II Module I/O device’s DMA controller. A priority
arbitration circuit ensures that only one device is using the memory at a time.
3.4.1 DRAM Performance
The DRAM controller automatically adjusts wait states based on processor type, processor clock
frequency, and memory speed. The controller supports burst transfers using the interleaved banks to
maximize performance. Table 3-4 lists DRAM performance.
The default memory configuration uses 70 ns memory. At processor frequencies of 25 and 40 MHz,
wait states are reduced using 60 ns memory.

Figure 3-2, DRAM Memory Map for Cyclone EP, incorrectly showed the
PCI Bus Address as 1000 0000H. It now correctly shows 4000 0000H.
