DDR SDRAM AC Electrical Characteristics
This section provides the AC electrical characteristics for the DDR SDRAM interface. The DDR
controller supports both DDR1 and DDR2 memories. DDR1 is supported with the following AC timings
at data rates of 333 MHz. DDR2 is supported with the following AC timings at data rates down to
333 MHz.

Notes:
1. t
CISKEW
represents the total amount of skew consumed by the controller between MDQS[n] and any corresponding bit that
will be captured with MDQS[n]. This should be subtracted from the total timing budget.
2. The amount of skew that can be tolerated from MDQS to a corresponding MDQ signal is called t
DISKEW
. This can be
determined by the following equation: t
DISKEW
= ± (T/4 – abs(t
CISKEW
)) where T is the clock period and abs(t
CISKEW
) is the
absolute value of t
CISKEW
.
