DDR Interfaces A & B / Connector
General
Guidelines
•
Route interface 50
Ω
nominal impedance,
± 10%.
•
5 on 15 is maintained for Data/Strobe/
CMD signals;
5 on 7 is maintained for CK/
CK# signals.
•
If using the recommended stackup, outer
layer routing of DDR signals should be
kept to a minimum (except for reference
voltages). Via up close to passive
devices, and immediately via back down
following the device.
•
Try to maintain same ground reference
when transitioning layers—add stitching
via if reference plane changes.
•
Connect termination resistors directly to
termination plane (flood is on outer layer).
•
Space traces out as much as possible
through the DIMMs.
•
All traces are routed 1.8" to 6.0" from
MCH to first DIMM connector, and 0.8" to
1.2” between connectors.
