Memory Interface Pin Support in Cyclone V Devices
In the Cyclone V devices, the memory interface circuitry is available in every I/O bank that does not support
transceivers. The devices offer differential input buffers for differential read-data strobe and clock operations.
The memory clock pins are generated with double data rate input/output (DDRIO) registers.
