2.3.1. Example: DQ Pin Swizzling Within DQS group for x32 DDR4 interface

Example: DQ Pin Swizzling Within DQS group for x32 DDR4 interface

This example uses the lane placement of the following table, using a memory device of x8 width.

Lane Number BL0 BL1 BL2 BL3 BL4 BL5 BL6 BL7
Default placement DQ[0] AC0 AC1 AC2 DQ[1] DQ[2] DQ[3] GPIO

2 MEM_DQ[2] MEM_DQ[2]
1 MEM_DQ[1] MEM_DQ[1]
0 MEM_DQ[0] MEM_DQ[3]

To achieve this swizzling in DQS group 0, you must enter PIN_SWIZZLE_CH0_DQS0=3,1,2,0,4,7,5,6; in the User Extra Parameters field of the Additional Parameters tab in the Advanced Parameters section of the General IP Parameters tab in the External Memory Interfaces IP parameter editor.
