Section II. DDR3 SDRAM Controller with ALTMEMPHY IP User Guide
The following sequence corresponds with the numbered items in Figure 9–7:
1. The write leveling stage.
2. The write leveling coarse phase sweep.
3. Fine T9/T10 delay chain sweep.
4. The write burst training pattern.
5. Three training patterns available at different addresses—zeroes, ones, and mixed.
6. The read path setup starts with the first operation, read deskew.
7. The read path deskew increases capture margin.
8. The write deskew stage; patterns written to RAM and read back.
9. The write datapath setup; data written to DRAM to determine latency.
10. Advertise read and write latency stage.
11. Tracking setup stage to set up mimic window.
12. Calibration successful on user mode.
