Volume 3: Reference Material

The example top-level file is a fully-functional design that you can simulate,
synthesize, and use in hardware. The example driver is a self-test module that issues
read and write commands to the controller and checks the read data to produce the
pass or fail, and test complete signals.

The ALTMEMPHY megafunction creates the datapath between the memory device
and the memory controller. The megafunction is available as a stand-alone product or
can be used in conjunction with the Altera high-performance memory controller.
When using the ALTMEMPHY megafunction as a stand-alone product, use with
either custom or third-party controllers.

For new designs, Altera recommends using a UniPHY-based external memory
interface, such as the DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM controllers with UniPHY, QDR II and
QDR II+ SRAM controllers with UniPHY, or RLDRAM II controller with UniPHY.

Release Information

Table 15–1

provides information about this release of the DDR3 SDRAM Controller

with ALTMEMPHY IP.

Altera verifies that the current version of the Quartus

®

II software compiles the

previous version of each MegaCore function. The

MegaCore IP Library Release Notes

and Errata

report any exceptions to this verification. Altera does not verify

compilation with MegaCore function versions older than one release. For information
about issues on the DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 SDRAM high-performance controller and
the ALTMEMPHY megafunction in a particular Quartus II version, refer to the

Quartus II Software Release Notes
