Hi.. I am trying to use SDRAM (not chip but SDRAM as i PCs)of micron in one of my projects (Gamin Console).IActually i want to use it to use it as Shared Ram (As vide and also for other purposes ).. I have designed its controller and have checked b simulation...but here is a problem to use it.. [b:8737ae6c30] Problem [/b:8737ae6c30]is that m [b:8737ae6c30]FPGA board donot have SDRA Socket[/b:8737ae6c30](bank).
I m using SDRAM of 32MB and so it has 16
pins .. So now the [b:8737ae6c30]solutions[/b:8737ae6c30] i fee are.. [b:8737ae6c30]1- Get fpga board or some extention board which hav it[/b:8737ae6c30 problem is that i m in university so will say my teacher t get a board and so this process may take long time...as i not wan that so avoiding it...but till i have requested to teache [b:8737ae6c30]2- Second Solution is i turn on to RAM chips and us different chips for different purposes (like one for Video and als some for other purposes)[/b:8737ae6c30] and not use a shared RAM This is also time consuming as i have to request teache and will also make some more complications as have to handl different small chips and i donot feel it professional...and als VRAM may be expensive and difficult to handle... But still i hav requested teacher for tha [b:8737ae6c30]3- Make my own PCB having slot for SDRAM (SDRA Socket)...[/b:8737ae6c30 Its not time consuming and i like to go for it althoug its a little complex.. Problem in that is ... in my market i am unable to fin SDRAM Socket to use in my PCB... So i have to get it from some ol Motherboard which is difficult and as pins of SDRAM are close enoug so may damage pins...but will tr and also PCB for it will be of two layers at least...an its too expensive ... so cannot go for two sided PCB...So i have to d it in Single sided PCB... the only thing i want from my pcb i to get the 168 pins (which are too closer) on some connector Pins..
[color=darkred:8737ae6c30]Plz Suggest..FOR SOLUTION-1 tha Websites to Get economical FPGA or Extention boards havin SDRAM Socket in it (I m using VHDl and FPGA of Xilinx (any)
FOR SOLUTION-2 tha
Websites to Get economical chips of SDRAM nad VRAM
FOR SOLUTION-3 tha
Links Where to get SSDRAM Socket... Suggestion to do it on Single sided PCB..
ANY OTHER SOLUTION [/color:8737ae6c30
