Dear Ivor,
What is the justification for not having simulated this design?
To my understanding for DDR2 topologies, it is usually necessary to =
obtain
accurate models (for Controller, DDR2 SDRAMs as well as interconnect
elements)
and to simulate the DQ, DQS (for Read and Write modes), the Clock and=20
Control lines. Careful examination of signal quality and timing budgets
would then
lead to conclusions regarding acceptability or need for any changes in =
the
design.
Best Regards,
Abe Riazi

Subject: [SI-LIST] DDR2 design
Hi SI Experts,
I am reviewing a layout for an embedded DDR2 design using 4 Micron DDR2=20
chips with an Altera Cyclone controller. The memory is set up to be 64=20
bits wide, 16 bits per chip.
The target rate is 167MHz. The design is not simulated.
Termination is as follows:
ODT may be supported, still investigating.
There is no series term.
There is 0.9V stub term for control lines.
There is a differential 100 ohm term for each clock pair (4 total).
Routing is as follows:
Control lines are daisy chained and length matched between the first=20
DRAM and controller (about 1"), each DRAM (about .75") and the last DRAM =
and terminators (about .25"); total net length is about 3.5". Data lines =
are
length matched at about 3" (controller to DRAM). Clock lines are length
matched at about 4" (controller to DRAM). Trace impedance is targeted at =
100
ohms for clock and control lines, and=20
75 ohms for data lines.
Is this design likely to work? If not, what changes should be =
considered?
I very much appreciate all comments. Thank you!
