The DDR3 Demo Design consists of two major parts: the DDR3 SDRAM Controller IP core and the User Logic block. The DDR3 SDRAM Controller IP core interfaces directly with the onboard external DDR3 SDRAM to perform control, write, and read operations. The User Logic block generates test data to be written to the SDRAM and compares the data read from the external DDR3 SDRAM to the expected result, flagging an error if a data mismatch is detected. The demo parameters can be modified using onboard DIP switches, whereas the status of the demo is indicated through the onboard LEDs.
This demo uses Certus-NX Versa Evaluation Board that can expand the usability of the Certus-NX FPGA with DDR3, soft D-PHY, 1 Gbps Ethernet and 1× PCIe (Gen2) channel. Board resources such as jumpers, LED indicators, push buttons, and switches are available for user-defined applications.
