alt_mem_phy DDR2 controller INIT_done going LOW.

Hi all. 

Need help. I have a problem with DDR2. 

 

I'm using DDR2 HPC1 memctrl with alt_mem_phy IP and EPCGX110DF31I7. Addressing 2 parallel MT47H128M16HG-3IT:A (FBGA-84) "MICRON (totaling to 32-bit data bus width, 1 nCS). 

I using Quartus 11.1 sp2.  

pll_ref_clk=40 MHz. 

phy_clk = 140 MHz. 

controller data rate= Half. 

Enable user Auto-refresh control =on. 

Native interface. 

Problem with replication of nCS, CKE, ODT – solved. 

 

I done tcl file and add ddr sdc file. Onchip series termination on (50 Ohm without calibration). 

 

Devices always starting and working normal, but in a one moment local_init_done going LOW and after not going HIGH never. Only after global reset alt_mem_phy DDR2 controller release local_init_done ('1'). 

Device can working all day, but can work only few minutes. This behavior repeat on all devices. 

 

Why local_init_done may be falling? Files of DDR2 controller encrypted and I not view condition of this case in HDL file. 

 

Thanks for any help!

Why are you using not the High Performance Controller II? And why do you have enabled User Auto-Refresh controls?

HPCI uses, because only HPCI has native interface (we have arbiter for our system with this interface). 

User Auto-Refresh controls uses for delay Auto-Refresh cycle and increase peak performance.
