Mind you, Stephanie, I'm not complaining. I find it interesting. I think the link is a good thing. Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. �����������������������������������������������������������������������

I have to agree with you that so far, contributions from visitors on the site have not been of the highest quality. The reasons for this are not completely clear to me yet. I must say that the interface is still only a few weeks old and I am improving it on a weekly basis. I am of course opened to suggestions.

I didn't understand that it was the same SDRAM, just SDRAM in general. As for "wide of center", this isn't the first post to come via that route that seemed a bit odd to me. Maybe it's just me.

Welcome to the club! One question to ponder, though: what's the difference between an eccentric and a crank? Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. �����������������������������������������������������������������������

Doesn't seem too off-the-wall to me--in a thread discussing a particular SDRAM,
someone asks what the price of that SDRAM is.  Though it seems to me it would
have possibly been better directed as a personal e-mail to the OP if possible.
And I certainly wouldn't make the jump that everyone on DSPRelated.com is "wide
of center" based on this post!

For that matter you could ask on sci.electronics.components and get good advise.

Jerry! That's it! I can never describe myself as Left or Right because my political views are scattered all over the map, yet few of them are actually _in_ the center. I'm not Left or Right -- I'm just wide of center! Thanks! -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

Hi, I am thinking of using the SDRAM in a project but cant find the price
anywhere, do you remember what you paid for yours?

Good new for you:  I have used those exact 2 parts in a design and it works just
fine!  More comments interspersed.

I don't remember anything particularly tricky--just wired it up per the SHARC documentation. Getting all the bits of the SDRAM controller register set-up takes a bit of care, but as long as you have both the SDRAM and SHARC documentation in front of you, it is straightforward.

You got it right: AD13->BA1, AD12->BA0

"yes"! Wire them all together. Since the SHARC operates on 32 bits at a time, it doesn't really support the byte-wide masking stuff that you get with multiple DQM inputs.
