Hi I just want to know difference between ddr/ddr2/ddr3 layout instructions. are these differ based on application or with type of board? send me instructions that truly describe these devices layout guidelines. I am using ddr2 in my credence template board for DTV/video applications. I found that trace width that i received in stack up has 6mils-50ohm, 5/6/5 for 100ohms for microstrip traces(top&bot) since we kept decaps under DDR2 pins in bot, we are getting 3mils clearance between traces while routing from dut to DDR2. Can we neck down 50 ohm traces inside the DDR* footprint? should it affect the performance of ddr*. i am just confused on this. Also tell me should we need to include via stub length in length report? is the via stub length is applicable for lvds, hdmi diff pair traces too? -- Regards ------------ Umashankar Subramaniam, Application Engineer ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
