关于XILINX FPGA上的DDR_VRP和VRN引脚

Xilinx Customer Community

These signals have been defined this way since Xilinx introduced DCI (with Virtex II if I remember correctly).  VRN is a NFET that drives low against a pull-up (open drain) and VRP is a PFET that drives high against a pull-down.  These are used to calibrate the drive current for matching FETs in the output drivers that use the DCI standard.  So VRN trims the current drive for outputs when they drive low and VRP trims the current drive for outputs when they drive high.  The naming comvention has caused many a board layout error, but once you understand the reason it makes sense.

 

 以上两图是正确的，下面是我N年前做的一版，连接错误：

 上图的板子还能调试通过，但是运行时候出错，另外温度低了也容易出问题，一直没有找到问题。导致了这个产品始终不敢卖。

啊，多么痛的领悟，怎么小心都为过，低级错误最难察觉！
