External Memory Interface Pins
Note: Altera recommends that you create a Quartus® Prime design, enter your device I/O assignments, and compile the design. The Quartus® Prime software checks your pin connections according to I/O assignment and placement rules. The rules differ from one device to another based on device density, package, I/O assignments, voltage assignments, and other factors that are not fully described in this document or the device user guides.
Pin Name | Pin Functions | Pin Description | Connection Guidelines |
---|---|---|---|
DQ[#]R | I/O, DQ | Optional data signal for use in external memory interfacing. The order of the DQ bits within a designated DQ bus is not important. However, use with caution when making pin assignments if you plan on migrating to a different memory interface that has a different DQ bus width. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Quartus® Prime software. |
DQS[#]R | I/O, DQS | Optional data strobe signal for use in external memory interfacing. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Quartus® Prime software. |
DQSn[#]R | I/O, DQSn | Optional complementary data strobe signal for use in external memory interfacing. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Quartus® Prime software. |
DM[#]R | I/O, DM | A low signal on the DM pin indicates that the write is valid. Driving the DM pin high results in the memory masking of the DQ signals. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Quartus® Prime software. |
CK_[6] | I/O, Output | Input clock for external memory devices. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Quartus® Prime software. |
CK#_[6] | I/O, Output | Input clock for external memory devices, inverted CK. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Quartus® Prime software. |
