18.8.1 SDRAM Signal Drive Strength Settings
The SDRAMDS should be programmed as shown in Figure 18-14. The settings assume the normal drive
strength for 2.5V drive, 7.6mA, is sufficient for the loading in the system.
This configuration results in a value of SDRAMDS = 0x0000_02AA, as described in Table 18-15.
18.8.2 SDRAM Chip Select Settings
For this example, the SDRAM will be connected to SDCS0 with a base address of 0x0. All other chip
selects are unused and do not need to be initialized. The CS0CFG should be programmed as shown in
Figure 18-15.
