2.4.5. Example: Swizzling for a 2Ch x32 + ECC interface

This example illustrates byte swizzling in Ch0 DQS group 1 (BL7) with DQS group 0 (BL6) and Ch1 DQS group 2 (BL4) with DQS group 3 (BL5). To achieve this swizzling, enter the following BYTE_SWIZZLE_CH0 and BYTE_SWIZZLE_CH1 specification in the Pin Swizzle Map:

  • BYTE_SWIZZLE_CH0=X,ECC,3,2,X,X,1,0;
  • BYTE_SWIZZLE_CH1=1,0,X,X,3,2,ECC,X;

To achieve the pin swizzling shown in the above table, enter the following BYTE_SWIZZLE_CH0 specification in the Pin Swizzle Map:

PIN_SWIZZLE_CH0_ECC=1,0,3,2,7,6,5,4;

This is a full ECC byte but because it is implemented with x4 devices it must follow the x4 restrictions of placing the lower 4 bits of the byte in the lower half and the upper four bits of the byte in the upper half.

  • PIN_SWIZZLE_CH0_DQS4=17,18,19,16;
  • PIN_SWIZZLE_CH0_DQS5=21,20,22,23;

For x4 device widths, the values in BYTE_SWIZZLE represent the bundles of 2 x4 DQS groups. The lower DQS group of the bundle is connected to the lower half of the byte lane, and the upper DQS group of the bundle is connected to the upper half of the byte lane.

The placement of each DQS bundle and DQS group in this example, after the byte swizzling, follows the pattern shown below:

  • CH0 Bundle 2 is placed on BL3:
    • CH0 DQS4 connected to lower half of BL3
    • CH0 DQS5 connected to upper half of BL3
