why does the k66 have a sdram controller instead of the ddr controller in the k61

[kenmcdaniel]

why integrate obsolete SDRAM controller on the k66 instead of a DDR controller 

[Hui_Ma]

I got additional info about some industrial customer prefer to using SDRAM product non-BGA package (DDR2 always using BGA package).

Have a great day,

According to customer requirements and extend product application field, K66 using SDRAM controller.

Wish it helps.
