Interface Data Capture Using ISERDES
and OSERDES
XAPP721 (v1.3) February 2, 2006
Author: Maria George
Summary This application note describes a data capture technique for a high-performance DDR2
SDRAM interface. This technique uses the Input Serializer/Deserializer (ISERDES) and Output
Serializer/Deserializer (OSERDES) features available in every Virtex™-4 I/O. This technique
can be used for memory interfaces with frequencies of

R Read Datapath Read Datapath The read datapath comprises the read data capture and recapture stages. Both stages are implemented in the built-in ISERDES available in every Virtex-4 I/O. The ISERDES has three clock inputs: CLK, OCLK, and CLKDIV. The read data is captured in the CLK (DQS) domain, recaptured in the OCLK (FPGA fast clock) domain, and finally transferred to the CLKDIV (FPGA divided clock) domain to provide parallel data. CLK: The read DQS routed using BUFIO provides the CLK inp

R Read Datapath Figure 8 shows the timing waveform for read data and strobe delay determination. The waveforms on the left show a case where the DQS is delayed due to BUFIO and clocking resource, and the ISERDES outputs do not match the expected data pattern. The waveforms on the right show a case where the DQS and DQ are delayed until the ISERDES outputs match the expected data pattern. The lower end of the frequency range useful in this design is limited by the number of available taps in t

R Reference Design The ctrl_RdEn signal is required to validate read data because the DDR2 SDRAM devices do not provide a read valid or read-enable signal along with read data. The controller generates this read-enable signal based on the CAS latency and the burst length. This read-enable signal is input to an SRL16 (LUT-based shift register). The number of register stages required to align the read-enable signal to the ISERDES read data output is determined during calibration. One read-enable
