DE0 SDRAM memory

Hello,  

 

I have a doubt about the connection between de Cyclone III and the SDRAM A3V64S40ETP in my DE0 board. In the datasheet of the SDRAM we have 12 inputs addresses (A0-A11) while in the datasheet of the DE0 pin connections there are 13 addresses specified (A0-A12) between the FPGA and the memory. Which is the reason of this since the SRAM only have 12 inputs! 

 

Thank you

the RAM is probably available in a larger density, so the route was made to the MSB in case you or the vendor wants to upgrade the memory chip
