Hi In an attempt to squeeze a little more performance out of our C6711 design, I'd like to try running the SDRAM (Samsung 2Mx32) with a CAS Latency (CL) of 2 instead of 3. The Samsung SDRAM I'm using will support a CL of 2 when running at 100MHz, which is the speed we are running the EMIF at. I've tried this, with no success and was wondering if anybody has achieved this or could offer any more insight on why it may not be working. Stephen Turner AudioScience, Inc. |

C6711 with SDRAM and CL=2

Stephen- Just a guess here, but I bet there's good reason the processor speed on the DSK C6x11 boards is 150 MHz, not 160, 166, 200 (C6211) or whatever the chips are rated at. It's likely that the 150 MHz value, combined with the slowest memory timing register values allowed by the C6xxx devices, just fits within the -7 and -8 (nsec) access time SDRAMs used on the DSK boards, and keeps the cost of the board down by not requiring faster SDRAM devices. What is the access time on your SDRAMs?
