External Memory Interface Pins
Note: Intel® recommends that you create an Intel® Quartus® Prime design, enter your device I/O assignments, and compile the design. The Intel® Quartus® Prime software will check 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 handbook.
Pin Name | Pin Functions | Pin Description | Connection Guidelines |
---|---|---|---|
DQS[#] | I/O,bi-directional | Optional data strobe signal for use in external memory interfacing. These pins drive to dedicated DQS phase shift circuitry. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. |
DQSn[#] | I/O,bi-directional | Optional complementary data strobe signal for use in external memory interfacing. These pins drive to dedicated DQS phase shift circuitry. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. |
DQ[#] | I/O,bi-directional | Optional data signal for use in external memory interfacing. The order of the DQ bits within a designated DQ bus is not important. However, if you plan on migrating to a different memory interface that has a different DQ bus width, you will need to reevaluate your pin assignments. Analyze the available DQ pins across all pertinent DQS columns in the pin list. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. |
DQS[#]_[#] | I/O, bidirectional | Optional data strobe signal for use in external memory interfacing. These pins drive to dedicated DQS phase shift circuitry. The shifted DQS signal can also drive to internal logic. | Connect unused pins as defined in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. |
