Hello Kathir, Please refer to appnote http://download.micron.com/pdf/technotes/DDR/tn4614.pdf from Micron. This may give you some help. Some system designs can operate without requiring VTT. The approximate system boundaries enabling VTT exclusion are: * Two or fewer DDR components in the system * Moderate current draw * Trace length <2in (5cm) * SI and drive strengths within data sheet limits (determined through simulation) Regards Ravi -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kathiresan K Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 7:48 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] DDR1 without VTT termination Hi, I need to have a single chip DDR1 (160 MHz, 16-Bit) memory for a processor. I don't want to provide VTT terminations. I'll keep the trace length as minimum as possible. I may provide series termination but I haven't done pre-layout simulation yet. Can somebody please clarify whether it can be designed without VTT termination? If yes, what can be the maximum trace length I go for? If I'm providing series termination, should I provide at both the ends for bi-directional signals?
