8.1.5. Intel Arria 10 EMIF IP QDR II/II+/II+ Xtreme Parameters: Board

Table 280.  Group: Board / Intersymbol Interference/Crosstalk
Display Name Description
Use default ISI/crosstalk values You can enable this option to use default intersymbol interference and crosstalk values for your topology. Note that the default values are not optimized for your board. For optimal signal integrity, it is recommended that you do not enable this parameter, but instead perform I/O simulation using IBIS models and Hyperlynx)*, and manually enter values based on your simulation results, instead of using the default values. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_USE_DEFAULT_ISI_VALUES)
Address and command ISI/crosstalk The address and command window reduction due to ISI and crosstalk effects. The number to be entered is the total loss of margin on both the setup and hold sides (measured loss on the setup side + measured loss on the hold side). Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_USER_AC_ISI_NS)
CQ/CQ# ISI/crosstalk CQ/CQ# ISI/crosstalk describes the reduction of the read data window due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects on the CQ/CQ# signal when driven by the memory device during a read. The number to be entered is the total loss of margin on the setup and hold sides (measured loss on the setup side + measured loss on the hold side). Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_USER_RCLK_ISI_NS)
Read Q ISI/crosstalk Read Q ISI/crosstalk describes the reduction of the read data window due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects on the CQ/CQ# signal when driven by the memory device during a read. The number to be entered is the total loss of margin on the setup and hold sides (measured loss on the setup side + measured loss on the hold side). Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_USER_RDATA_ISI_NS)
K/K# ISI/crosstalk K/K# ISI/crosstalk describes the reduction of the write data window due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects on the K/K# signal when driven by the FPGA during a write. The number to be entered is the total loss of margin on the setup and hold sides (measured loss on the setup side + measured loss on the hold side). Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_USER_WCLK_ISI_NS)
Write D ISI/crosstalk Write D ISI/crosstalk describes the reduction of the write data window due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects on the signal when driven by driven by the FPGA during a write. The number to be entered is the total loss of margin on the setup and hold sides (measured loss on the setup side + measured loss on the hold side). Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_USER_WDATA_ISI_NS)
Table 281.  Group: Board / Board and Package Skews
Display Name Description
Package deskewed with board layout (Q group) If you are compensating for package skew on the Q bus in the board layout (hence checking the box here), please include package skew in calculating the following board skew parameters. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_IS_SKEW_WITHIN_Q_DESKEWED)
Maximum board skew within Q group This parameter describes the largest skew between all Q signals in a Q group. Q pins drive the data signals from the memory to the FPGA when the read operation is active. Users should enter their board skew only. Package skew will be calculated automatically, based on the memory interface configuration, and added to this value. This value affects the read capture and write margins. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_Q_NS)
Maximum system skew within Q group The largest skew between all Q pins in a Q group. Enter combined board and package skew. This value affects the read capture and write margins. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_PKG_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_Q_NS)
Package deskewed with board layout (D group) If you are compensating for package skew on the D and BWS# signals in the board layout (hence checking the box here), please include package skew in calculating the following board skew parameters. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_IS_SKEW_WITHIN_D_DESKEWED)
Maximum board skew within D group This parameter refers to the largest skew between all D and BWS# signals in a D group. D pins are used for driving data signals to the memory device during a write operation. BWS# pins are used as Byte Write Select signals to control which byte(s) are written to the memory during a write operation. Users should enter their board skew only. Package skew will be calculated automatically, based on the memory interface configuration, and added to this value. This value affects the read capture and write margins. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_D_NS)
Maximum system skew within D group The largest skew between all D and BWS# pins in a D group. Enter combined board and package skew. This value affects the read capture and write margins. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_PKG_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_D_NS)
Package deskewed with board layout (address/command bus) Enable this parameter if you are compensating for package skew on the address, command, control, and memory clock buses in the board layout. Include package skew in calculating the following board skew parameters. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_IS_SKEW_WITHIN_AC_DESKEWED)
Maximum board skew within address/command bus The largest skew between the address and command signals. Enter the board skew only; package skew is calculated automatically, based on the memory interface configuration, and added to this value. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_AC_NS)
Maximum system skew within address/command bus Maximum system skew within address/command bus refers to the largest skew between the address and command signals. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_PKG_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_AC_NS)
Average delay difference between address/command and K This parameter refers to the average delay difference between the Address/Command signals and the K signal, calculated by averaging the longest and smallest Address/Command trace delay minus the maximum K trace delay. Positive values represent address and command signals that are longer than K signals and negative values represent address and command signals that are shorter than K signals. (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_AC_TO_K_SKEW_NS)
Maximum K delay to device The maximum K delay to device refers to the delay of the longest K trace from the FPGA to any device (Identifier: BOARD_QDR2_MAX_K_DELAY_NS)
