Chapter 4 — Theory of Operation 
SDRAM Controller 
When the PCI card initiates a PCI transaction to read data from system 
SDRAM or write data to it, the PCI bridge raises the SA_BREQ signal to 
request the system bus from PXA255. When the PXA255 has completed 
any pending operations, it raises SA_BGNT to signal the FPGA to take 
over the bus as an alternate bus master. The SDRAM controller in the 
FPGA takes over for the PXA255 SDRAM controller according to the 
handoff procedure detailed in the Intel

Manual
The FPGA SDRAM controller is set up in advance by software for the 
appropriate SDRAM density. It runs the SDRAM at 49.77MHz–half the 
rate used by the PXA255 SDRAM controller. The FPGA controller keeps 
the CAS latency set to 2 but resets the SDRAM burst length to full-page 
mode so it can perform variable-length bursts. A single SDRAM burst of 
up to 8 words is then performed. The burst length is limited to 8 as a 
simple way of ensuring that the FPGA does not hog the bus for too long 
and to avoid the complication of adding SDRAM refresh control to the 
FPGA. When the burst is complete, the FPGA SDRAM controller sets the 
SDRAM back to its previous burst length setting of four.
