Hi Sudarshan, Our usual practice is to simulate with these three configuration(usually various models comes with the IBIS model of the same chipset) and see which has the least shoot and proper rise time in run interactive window of the tool. If possible use the DDR2 wizard(Hyperlynx8.0)and see the overall result in the excel sheet which tells you how many cases passed and failed. All the best, M Usman -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of sudarshan kr Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 5:00 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] ODT Impedance on DDR2 Hi All, I am validating the DDR memory controller from 3rd party IP. With related to the ODT settings of the DDR device, how to qualify and quantify which of the 3 options(75,150,50Ohm) gives the better results. I saw few waveforms on the website which shows an eye pattern of the w/f. But i didnot understand how this is created using a differential signal probed using an differential probe. Thanks in advance Regards, Sudarshan ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Aricent and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
