Chapter 1: DDR3 and DDR2 SDRAM Memory Interface Solution
For example, if an 1,866 rated –3 FPGA operates at 1,600 Mb/s with a 1,600 rated DDR3
component, the DQ to DQS skew limit is ±31.3 ps. If the interface operates at 1,066 with a
1,333 rated DDR3 component, the skew limit is ±150 ps.
Similarly, the specified CK to address/control skew limit can be increased if the memory
interface is not operated at the maximum frequency. Table 1-68 indicates the relaxed skew
limit (±) for these cases. The vertical axis is the bit rate in Mb/s. The horizontal axis is the
DDR3 SDRAM component speed rating. The top portion of the chart is for skew changes
relative to the 1,867 Mb/s rated FPGAs, while the lower portion is for the 1,600 Mb/s rated
FPGAs.
