DDR3 Memory

The Micron DDR3 SDRAM is connected exclusively to the 1.5-v I/O on Banks 15 and 16 of the FPGA. The tables below list these connections.

The following resources are available to help provide guidance for designs that involve this memory:

MIG Settings

Artix-7 devices support external, high-performance memory through the use of the Memory Interface Generator (MIG) provided by Xilinx. MIG produces a custom memory interface core that may be included in your design. These parameters have been used successfully within Opal Kelly but your design needs may require deviations.

All settings are based on MIG 4.0 and Vivado 2016.2.

External differential termination is provided for the sys_clk signal. By default the MIG core enables internal termination on these signals, causing errors at compile time. To resolve this error, edit the <mig_name>_mig.v file and change the value of DIFF_TERM_SYSCLK to “FALSE“.
