Hi all,
I am considering to replace a SDRAM with a DDR2 on a custom Spartan3E1200 board to gain some bandwidth in a Microblaze system. Currently I am working with OPB_SDRAM core and I am not satisfied with
60MB bandwidth in burst mode (x16 SDRAM and 50MHz clock). It takes 4 cyles to read a word (32bits) and it does not support async clocking, so OPB clock is the same as RAM clock. I wonder what can I expect if I use x16 DDR2 RAM coupled to MCH_OPB_DDR2 (power consumption, bandwidth, problems...).Cheers,
Guru
