SDC Constraint for DDR memory



Below is a sample SDC file for a design with DDR memory. This file will typically include:

  1. Clock constraints: Define the clocks for the DDR interface.
  2. Input/Output delay constraints: Specify timing for the DDR I/O signals.
  3. Pin constraints: Assign pins for the DDR signals.
  4. Timing constraints: Define the setup and hold times, etc., for DDR.

Example SDC file for DDR memory


# Set the main clock period
set_clock_period -period 5.0 [get_clocks ddr_clk]  # DDR clock period (200 MHz)

# Define the DDR interface clock
create_clock -period 5.0 -name ddr_clk -waveform {0 2.5} [get_pins ddr_clk]  # Create a clock for the DDR interface

# Define input and output delays
set_input_delay -max 2.0 -min 1.5 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_dq]  # Input delay for DDR DQ
set_output_delay -max 2.0 -min 1.5 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_dq]  # Output delay for DDR DQ

# Set the input delay for address and control signals
set_input_delay -max 1.5 -min 1.0 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_addr]  # Address input delay
set_input_delay -max 1.5 -min 1.0 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_cmd]  # Command input delay

# Set the I/O delays for the DDR data signals (DQ) and DDR command/address signals (CS, WE, etc.)
set_input_delay -max 2.0 -min 1.0 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_dq]
set_output_delay -max 2.0 -min 1.0 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_dq]

# Define setup and hold constraints for the DDR signals (timing checks)
set_multicycle_path -setup 2 -hold 1 [get_clocks ddr_clk]  # Setup and hold for DDR clock

# Define constraints for the DDR address bus (address lines)
set_input_delay -max 1.0 -min 0.5 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_addr]

# Define the timing requirements for DDR commands (CS, RAS, CAS, WE)
set_input_delay -max 1.5 -min 1.0 -clock [get_clocks ddr_clk] [get_pins ddr_cmd]
