Dear Gurus,
We are recently having invalid data when we reset our DDR3. Below there is Altera Documentation and my questions. We are using Quartus 11.1, with StratixIII-EP3SL70-F780C4 DDR3 SDRAM Controller with UniPHY Interfaces global_reset_n reset input Asychronous global reset for PLLand all logic in PHY soft_reset_n reset input Asychronous reset input. Resets thePHY, but not the PLL that the PHYuses. afi_reset_n reset output(PLL master) Reset output ofthe AFI interface. This interface isasserted when the PLL loses lock orthe PHY is reset. Questions: 1- Should we connect the power up reset input(Input of FPGA coming from PCB) to global reset_n? 2- Should we use afi_reset_n output at all? 3- Should we connect the afi_reset_n output of the FPGA to global reset_n not to soft reset_n because we want to reset the PLL it is out of lock? 4- When should we use soft_reset_n, what is the advantage of using soft_reset_n, does it allow to recalibrate DDR3? 5- Should we use calibration success or calibration fail in the reset routine? regards DrogioLink Copied

1- Should we connect the power up reset input(Input of FPGA coming from PC to global reset_n?Yes.
2- Should we use afi_reset_n output at all?Yes, The afi_reset_n will asserted once the PLL locked 3- Should we connect the afi_reset_n output of the FPGA to global reset_n not to soft reset_n because we want to reset the PLL it is out of lock? No 4- When should we use soft_reset_n, what is the advantage of using soft_reset_n, does it allow to recalibrate DDR3? Yes, it will reset to memory 5- Should we use calibration success or calibration fail in the reset routine?No, those signal is to monitor the calibration status.
