Chapter 22: Programmable Logic Design Guide
22.3 PL and Memory System Performance Overview
This section provides a comparison of various performance-related behaviors of memory paths
through the PS. It is intended to familiarize the designer with the performance-related behaviors of
the PL and PS memory system.
22.3.1 Theoretical Bandwidth
Table 22-2 and Table 22-3 provide a basic introduction of relative performance capabilities between
various programmable interfaces, DMA, and memory controllers. The bandwidth are calculated as
the interface width multiplied by a typical clock rate, not including any protocol overhead.
