34.4. Interface

The following are top level signals from core

Table 375.  Clock and Reset Signals

Signal

Width

Direction

Description

clk

1

Input

System Clock

rst_n

1

Input

System asynchronous reset. The signal is asserted asynchronously, but is de-asserted synchronously after the rising edge of ssi_clk. The synchronization must be provided external to this component.

Table 376.   Avalon® -MM Agent Interface Signals

Signal

Width

Direction

Description

avs_read

1

Input

Avalon® -MM read control. Asserted to indicate a read transfer. If present, readdata is required.

avs_write

1

Input

Avalon® -MM write control. Asserted to indicate a write transfer. If present, writedata is required.

avs_byteenable dqm_width

Input

Enables specific byte lane(s) during transfer. Each bit corresponds to a byte in avs_writedata and avs_readdata.

avs_address controller_addr_width

Input

Avalon® -MM address bus.

avs_writedata sdram_data_width

Input

Avalon® -MM write data bus. Driven by the bus host (bridge unit) during write cycles.

avs_readdata sdram_data_width

Output

Avalon® -MM readback data. Driven by the altera_spi during read cycles.

avs_readdatavalid

1

Output

Asserted to indicate that the avs_readdata signals contains valid data in response to a previous read request.

avs_waitrequest

1

Output

Asserted when it is unable to respond to a read or write request.

Table 377.  Tristate Conduit Host / SDRAM Interface Signals

Signal

Width

Direction

Description

tcm_grant

1

Input

When asserted, indicates that a tristate conduit host has been granted access to perform transactions. tcm_grant is asserted in response to the tcm_request signal and remains asserted until 1 cycle following the deassertion of request.

Valid only when pin sharing mode is enabled.

tcm_request

1

Output

The meaning of tcm_request depends on the state of the tcm_grant signal, as the following rules dictate:

  • When tcm_request is asserted and tcm_grant is deasserted, tcm_request is requesting access for the current cycle.
  • When tcm_request is asserted and tcm_grant is asserted, tcm_request is requesting access for the next cycle; consequently, tcm_request should be deasserted on the final cycle of an access.

Because tcm_request is deasserted in the last cycle of a bus access, it can be reasserted immediately following the final cycle of a transfer, making both rearbitration and continuous bus access possible if no other hosts are requesting access.

Once asserted, tcm_request must remain asserted until granted; consequently, the shortest bus access is 2 cycles.

Valid only when pin-sharing mode is enabled.

sdram_dq_width sdram_data_width

Output

SDRAM data bus output.

Valid only when pin-sharing mode is enabled

sdram_dq_in sdram_data_width

Input

SDRAM data bus input.

Valid only when pin-sharing mode is enabled.

sdram_dq_oen

1

Output

SDRAM data bus output enable.

Valid only when pin-sharing mode is enabled.

sdram_dq sdram_data_width

Input/Output

SDRAM data bus.

Valid only when pin-sharing mode is disabled.

sdram_addr sdram_addr_width

Output

SDRAM address bus.

sdram_ba sdram_bank_width

Output

SDRAM bank address.

sdram_dqm dqm_width

Output

SDRAM data mask. When asserted, it indicates to the SDRAM chip that the corresponding data signal is suppressed. There is one DQM line per 8 bits data lines

sdram_ras_n

1

Output

Row Address Select. When taken LOW, the value on the tcm_addr_out bus is used to select the bank and activate the required row.

sdram_cas_n

1

Output

Column Address Select. When taken LOW, the value on the tcm_addr_out bus is used to select the bank and required column. A read or write operation will then be conducted from that memory location, depending on the state of tcm_we_out.

sdram_we_n

1

Output

SDRAM Write Enable, determines whether the location addressed by tcm_addr_out is written to or read from.

0=Read

1=Write

sdram_cs_n  

Output

SDRAM Chip Select. When taken LOW, will enables the SDRAM device.

sdram_cke

1

Output

SDRAM Clock Enable. The SDRAM controller does not support clock-disable modes. The SDRAM controller permanently asserts the tcm_sdr_cke_out signal on the SDRAM.

Note: The SDRAM controller does not have any configurable control status registers (CSR).
