GUI Name Values Default Values Description
Parameter
Number of groups 1 to 18 1 Number of data and strobe groups in the interface. The value is set to 1 by default.
General Tab- these parameters are set on a per interface basis
Clocks
Interface clock frequency

100 MHz - 1200 MHz

533.0 MHz External memory clock frequency.
Note: To achieve timing closure at 534 MHz and above, use dynamic reconfiguration to calibrate the interface. Compile your design with Intel® Quartus® Prime with accurate board skew information for final timing analysis.
Use recommended PLL reference clock frequency On, Off On

If you want to calculate the PLL reference clock frequency automatically for best performance, turn on this option.

If you want to specify your own PLL reference clock frequency, turn off this option.

PLL reference clock frequency Dependent on desired memory clock frequency 133.25 MHz PLL reference clock frequency. You must feed a clock of this frequency to the PLL reference clock input of the memory interface.
Note: There is no minimum range, but the maximum output frequency is 1600 MHz, limited by the clock network. The minimum range for the ref_clk signal is 10 MHz but the maximum is dependent on the speed grade.
VCO clock frequency Calculated internally by PLL 1066.0 MHz The frequency of this clock is calculated internally by the PLL based on the interface clock and the core clock rate.
Clock rate of user logic Full, Half, Quarter Quarter Determines the clock frequency of user logic in relation to the memory clock frequency. For example, if the memory clock sent from the FPGA to the memory device is toggling at 800 MHz, a "Quarter rate" interface means that the user logic in the FPGA runs at 200 MHz.
Specify additional output clocks based on existing PLL On, Off Off Exposes additional output clocks from the existing PLL.
Important: PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces in Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices do not support exposing additional output clocks when VCO frequency is below 600 MHz.
Output Clocks
Note: These parameters are available only if the Specify additional output clocks based on existing PLL parameter is turned on
Number of additional clocks 0 to 4 0 Specifies the number of additional clocks to be exposed.
Important: PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces in Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices do not support exposing additional output clocks when VCO frequency is below 600 MHz.

Desired Frequency — 133.25 MHz Specifies the output clock frequency of the corresponding output clock port, outclk[], in MHz. The minimum and maximum values depend on the device used. The PLL only reads the numerals in the first six decimal places.
Actual Frequency — 133.25 MHz Allows you to select the actual output clock frequency from a list of achievable frequencies.
Phase shift units ps or degrees ps Specifies the phase shift unit for the corresponding output clock port, outclk[], in picoseconds (ps) or degrees.
Phase shift — 469.0 ps Specifies the requested value for the phase shift. The default value is 0 ps.
Actual phase shift — 469.0 ps Allows you to select the actual phase shift from a list of achievable phase shift values. The default value is the closest achievable phase shift to the desired phase shift.
Desired duty cycle 0.0–100.0 50.0 % Specifies the requested value for the duty cycle.
Actual duty cycle — 50.0 % Allows you to select the actual duty cycle from a list of achievable duty cycle values. The default value is the closest achievable duty cycle to the desired duty cycle.
Dynamic Reconfiguration

Group <x> - these parameters are set on a per group basis
Group <x> Parameter Settings
Copy parameters from another group On, Off Off Select this option when you want to copy the parameter settings from another group.

Set Number of groups to more than 1 to enable this option.

Group 1 - 17 1 Choose the group index that you want as the parameter settings source. The changes made to the source is updated automatically to all the target groups.

You can only choose the group index which the parameter settings are not copied from another group.

Set Number of groups to more than 1 to enable this option.

Group <x> Pin Settings
Note: These parameters are disabled when Copy parameters from another group is enabled.
Pin type Input, Output, Bidirectional Bidirectional Direction of data pins. This value is set to Bidirectional by default.
Pin width 1 to 48 9 Number of pins in this data/strobe group.

A data width up to 48 is achievable if no strobe is used in the group. The number of strobes is controlled by the Use output strobe, Strobe configuration and Use separate capture strobe parameters.

DDR/SDR DDR, SDR DDR Double/single data rate.
Group <x> Input Path Settings
Note: These parameters are disabled when Copy parameters from another group is enabled.
Read latency 1 to 63 external interface clock cycles 7 Expected read latency of the external device in memory clock cycles.

For example, a design with an external clock frequency of 533 MHz in half-rate has a valid read latency range of 5 to 63 external interface clock cycles.

Refer to the Read Latency topic for minimum read latency settings based on FPGA core clock rate.

Swap capture strobe polarity On, Off Off Internally swap the negative and positive capture strobe input pins. This feature is only available for complementary strobe configurations.
Capture strobe phase shift 0, 45, 90, 135, 180 90 Internally phase shift the input strobe relative to input data.
Group <x> Output Path Settings
Note: These parameters are disabled when Copy parameters from another group is enabled.

Group <x> General Data Settings
Note: These parameters are disabled when Copy parameters from another group is enabled.
Data configuration Single ended, Differential Single ended

Selects the type of data. Single ended data type uses one pin. Differential data type uses 2 pins.

Refer to the I/O Standards topic for a list of supported I/O standards.

Group <x> General Strobe Settings
Note: These parameters are disabled when Copy parameters from another group is enabled.
Strobe configuration Single ended, Differential, Complementary Single ended

Select the type of strobe. A single ended strobe uses one pin, which reduces the maximum possible number of data pins in the group to 47. Differential/complementary strobe types use 2 pins, which reduces the maximum possible number of data pins in the group to 46.

Note: The differential strobe configuration uses a differential input buffer, which produces a single clock for the capture DDIO and read FIFO. The complementary strobe configuration uses two single-ended input buffers and clocks the data into the capture DDIO and read FIFO using both clocks (as required by protocols such as QDRII). The output path functionality is the same.

Refer to the I/O Standards topic for a list of supported I/O standards.

Use separate strobes On, Off Off

Separate the bidirectional strobe into input and output strobe pins. Use separate strobes is only available for a bidirectional data group with the output strobe enabled.

Group <x> OCT Settings
Note: These parameters are disabled when Copy parameters from another group is enabled.
OCT enable size

0 - 4 ( Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices)

1 Specifies the delay between the OCT enable signal assertion and the dqs_enable signal assertion. You must set a value that is large enough to ensure that the OCT is turn on before sampling input data.
Note: For Intel® Quartus® Prime software version prior to 17.0, refer to related information for known issue.
Expose termination ports On, Off Off

Turn on to expose the series and parallel termination ports to connect separate OCT block.

To enable this option, turn off Use Default OCT Values parameter and select a value for Input OCT Value or Output OCT Value parameters.
