Siva,
It is a little bit of an undertaking, but has been done successfully.  It 
can be done using -6 speed grade parts, careful floor planning, local clock 
routing, and some realistic limitations on how fancy a controller function 
you want.  For example, score boarding open banks to dynamically determine 
when to precharge requires too many levels of combinatorial logic to run at 
200MHz.

You need an FPGA guru, and/or a lot of hand holding from Xilinx.  If you 
have already laid your board out, you may have to accept either reduced 
performance or a board spin.

Regards,


Steve.
