Utilization
Table 5 lists the resource utilization for a 64-bit interface including the physical layer, the
controller, the user interface, and a synthesizable test bench.
Conclusion The data capture technique explained in this application note using ISERDES provides a good
margin for high-performance memory interfaces. The high margin can be achieved because all
the logic in the FPGA fabric is clocked at half the frequency of the interface, eliminating critical
paths.
