Section II. DDR3 SDRAM Controller with ALTMEMPHY IP User Guide
■ No support for data-mask (DM) pins for ×4 DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs or
components, so select No for Drive DM pins from FPGA when using ×4 devices.
■ The ALTMEMPHY megafunction supports half-rate DDR3 SDRAM interfaces
only.
In addition, Table 1–3 shows the features provided by the DDR3 SDRAM HPC and
HPC II.
