4.3.2.3. Input Path Signals

Table 73.  Input Path SignalsInput path signals are signals that are available when you set the Pin Type parameter to Input or Bidirectional. The <n> in the signal names below represents the group number in the IP.
Signal Name Direction Width Description
group_<n>_data_to_core Output

Quarter-rate DDR: 8 x PIN_WIDTH

Quarter-rate SDR: 4 x PIN_WIDTH

Output data to the core logic. Valid on group_<n>_rdata_valid. Synchronous to the core_clk_out output from the IP.
group_rdata_en Input

Quarter-rate: 4

This signal represents the number of expected words to read from the external device.

This signal is set to high after a read command is issued. Synchronous to the core_clk_out output from the IP.

When using the IP as a receiver, assert this signal after interface_locked signal is asserted and group_strobe_in is stable.

This signal is shared across all groups.

group_<n>_rdata_valid Output

Quarter-rate: 4

This signal determines which data are valid when reading from Read FIFO. Delayed by READ_LATENCY with margin and aligned to the core clock rate. For example, in quarter-rate, the delay is a multiple of 4 external clock cycles.

Synchronous to the core_clk_out output from the IP.

group_<n>_data_in/

group_<n>_data_io

Input/Bidirectional

1 to 34

Input and output data from/to external device. Synchronous to the group_<n>_strobe_in or group_<n>_strobe_io input. The first data_in must be associated with positive edge of group_<n>_strobe_in/group_<n>_strobe_io.

If the pin type is set to Input, the group_<n>_data_in ports are used. If the pin type is set to bidirectional, the group_<n>_data_io ports are used.

group_<n>_strobe_in/ group_<n>_strobe_io Input/Bidirectional 1

Input and output strobe from/to external device. If the pin type is set to Input, the group_<n>_strobe_in signal is used. If the pin type is set to Bidirectional, the group_<n>_strobe_io signal is used.

group_<n>_strobe_in_n/group_<n>_strobe_io_n Input/Bidirectional 1 Negative strobe from/to external device. This is used if the Strobe Configuration parameter is set to Differential. If the pin type is set to Input, the group_<n>_strobe_in_n signal is used. If the pin type is set to Bidirectional, the group_<n>_strobe_io_n signal is used.
