DQ[63:0]
CB[7:0]
DQS[17:0]
•
Route entirely on the same layer from
MCH to DIMM to termination (no layer
transitions). Place the 10
Ω
series resistor
< 800 mils from the first DIMM connector.
All signals in a data group must be length
matched to the associated DQS within
± 100 mils. In addition, each DQS must
be length matched to its associated
command clock within ± 1.75". Place
termination resistor within 800 mils from
the last DIMM connector.
•
Refer to
RAS#
CAS#
WE#
MA[12:0]
BA[1:0]
•
Length match to command clock within
2 in. Place termination resistor within 800
mills from last DIMM connector. No more
then 2 vias/layer transitions, not including
breakout and passive devices.
•
Refer to
CS[7:0]#
•
Place termination resistor within 3" from
the connector.
•
Refer to
CMDCLK[3:0]
CMDCLK[3:0]#
•
Clock signals within a differential pair
must be matched to each other within ±
2 mils. These signals must be routed 5 on
15, and must be at least 20 mils away
from any other signal. Total length must
be between 2.1” and 10.0”.
•
Refer to
CKE
•
Route 40
Ω
using a 7.5 mil wide trace.
The CKE signal must be length matched
to the clock signal at each DIMM within
2". Place termination resistor within
800 mils from last DIMM connector.
•
Refer to
RCVENIN#
RCVENOUT#
•
RCVEN signal must be 15” ± 100 mils
long, pulled up to VTT using 47
Ω
± 2%.
•
Refer to
DDRCOMP
•
Place pull-up
resistor within 1" of the
MCH.
•
Refer to
DDRCVOL
DDRCVOH
•
Place resistive network within 1" of the
MCH.
•
Refer to
Decoupling
•
Spread termination decoupling capacitors
evenly around the termination plane.
•
Spread 2.5 V decoupling capacitors
evenly around the DIMMs.
•
Refer to
Hub Interfaces
General
Guidelines
•
Hublink data spacing of 5 on 15 is
maintained for data, and 5 on 35 is
maintained for strobes.
•
Traces are spaced out as much as
possible through the BGA.
•
Hublink data group signals are routed on
the same layer, transitioning together if a
layer change is required.
•
Maximum length of 20" (stripline routing).
•
Length match HI 2.0 strobes within 1"
from data. Length match according to
•
HI 1.5: Length match strobes and data
± 100 mils.
•

and
of this document.
