Can any STM32 microcontroller directly interface with DDR memory such as DDR2/DDR3/DDR4?

We are designing an STM32-based SOM and want to know whether STM32H7 controllers support DDR memory, or if DDR support is available only in STM32MP series. Please suggest compatible STM32 controllers and reference designs for DDR interfacing.

Hello,

If you mean by the DDR interface in the STM32MPxx series, that’s not available on any STM32 MCUs. It’s only available on STM32 MPUs.

So the answer is no.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

    Not PC DDR.
    But some STM32 MCUs support external RAM with quad/octo/dual quad spi. Some quad/octo/dual quad spi memories support DDR mode. We use that with a H7.
