Peripheral Architecture
2.8
DDR2 Memory Controller Interface
To move data efficiently from on-chip resources to external DDR2 SDRAM memory, the DDR2 memory
controller makes use of a command FIFO, a write FIFO, a read FIFO, and command and data schedulers.
Table 11
describes the purpose of each FIFO.
Figure 14
shows the block diagram of the DDR2 memory controller FIFOs. Commands, write data, and
read data arrive at the DDR2 memory controller parallel to each other. The same peripheral bus is used to
write and read data from external memory as well as internal memory-mapped registers.
FIFO
Description
Command
Stores all commands coming from on-chip requestors
Write
Stores write data coming from on-chip requestors to memory
Read
Stores read data coming from memory to on-chip requestors
