7.2.5.3. DDR5 Interface x8 Data Lane
A byte lane in an external memory interface consists of 12 signal pins, denoted 0-11.
For DDR5 interfaces composed of ×8 devices, two pins are reserved for DQS-T and DQS-C signals, one pin is reserved for the optional DM signal, one pin must be reserved, and the remaining eight pins are for DQ signals. One-byte data lane must be assigned for each byte lane, where the byte lane covers DQ [0:7], DQS_T/DQS_C and DM_N. The following are EMIF I/O pin swapping restrictions applicable to a DDR5 interface with a ×8 data lane:
- DQS_T must go to pin 4 in IO12 pins.
- DQS_C must go to pin 5 in IO12 pins.
- DM_N must go to pin 6 in IO12 pins. If the interface does not use the DM_N pin, this pin 6 in IO12 lane must remain unconnected.
- Pin 7 in IO12 lane remains unconnected. Altera recommends that you connect this pin 7 to the TDQS dummy load of the memory component and route it as a differential trace along with DM_N (pin 6). This facilitates ×4 or ×8 data interoperability in DIMMs configuration.
- You can connect data byte (DQ [0:7]) to any pins [0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11] in the byte lane. Any permutation within selected pins is permitted.
Pin Index Within Byte Lane | DDR5 x8 Data Lane Function | Swap Consideration |

0 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
1 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
2 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
3 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
4 | DQS_T Pin | Fixed location (not swappable) |
5 | DQS_C Pin | Fixed location (not swappable) |
6 | DM Pin | Fixed location (not swappable) |
7 | Unused | Fixed location (not swappable) |
8 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
9 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
10 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
11 | DQ Pin | Swap group A |
