[Kenny Frohlich <kenny_frohlich@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tao,
  I'm interested in trace impedance on board.
  I have always thought that the impedance of CLKs is 100 Ohms (differential) 
and the impedance of other signals (DQ, DQM, DQS, Addr, Commands) is 50 - 60 
Ohms (single-ended).  However, Intel, AMD, and SDRAM vendors all specifies 
different impedance values so I got confused and posed my questions.  Also, I 
can not find any information on impedance in DDR2 standard spec.
   
  Thanks,
  Kenny

  for trace impedance. it is normally 50 or 60 ohm based on my previous
experince. Clock singal sometimes has lower impedance trace than other
signal groups.
