Using DDR2 for Spartan3E
I plan to use a Spartan3E on my design and I want to have a DDR2 also.
I read some document. SSTL18 class 2 is needed to interface DDR2. However, I found that Spartan3E only support SSTL18 class 1. Does it mean Spartan3E cannot support DDR2? What is the difference between class 1 and class 2?
Besides, even if the IO standard is supported, shoud I consider the clock frequency as well. What is the key consideration to use DDR2 in terms of Specifications? Thank you very much for your answers.
