In our Custom board design using QorIQ T1020 processor we have designed to use T Topology for DDR3 address/command/control and clock groups.
Please confirm whether QorIQ processor supports T Topology for DDR3 as we have seen in some applications notes for DDR design considerations to use fly-by topology.
Only fly-by topology is supported.
Refer to the AN3940 - Hardware and Layout Design Considerations for DDR3 SDRAM, Table 1. DDR3 designer checklist:
"31. Ensure fly-by topology is used for address/command/control and clock groups."
Hi, Thank you for your response and clarity provided.
Due to some design constraints in our custom board design we are not able to met 64 Bit DDR design with fly-by topology.
Since fly-by topology is the only supported/recommended topology, we are planning to design with 32bit DDR; please confirm us the 32 Bit DDR3L configurations to be taken care in our Software configuration as 64Bit is the default configuration in the DDR controller of T1020.
Thank You.
In the QorIQ T1040 Reference Manual, 14.2 DDR Features it is written:
"• Data bus widths supported:
• 64-/72-bit
• 32-/40-bit"
In the 14.4.8 DDR SDRAM control configuration (DDR_DDR_SDRAM_CFG) it is written:
"11–12
DBW
DRAM data bus width.
00 64-bit bus is used.
01 32-bit bus is used.
10 Reserved
11 Reserved"
Additional reference is AN4039_PowerQUICC and QorIQ DDR3 settings, Table 9. DDR_SDRAM_CFG Register field descriptions:
"13
8_BE
8-beat burst enable
0 4-beat bursts are used on the DRAM interface.
1 8-beat bursts are used on the DRAM interface.
...
• If a 32-bit data bus is used, then this field should be set to 1 (8-beat burst)."
ThanK You..!
