Patrick, We use 8-pin Rpacks (4 resistors) for high speed bus termination, including DDR, all the time. The trick is to provide a very good termination plane and fill area behind the resistors, low impedance mounting and breakout techniques, and one 0.1uF X7R capacitor per R-pack. i would not recommend the integrated SSTL-2 termination that some vendors are providing, as I expect the crosstalk and SSO on these packages will be quite high. I am not much of an advocate of RC termination, since it can be extremely sensitive to edge rate, and data frequency. best regards, scott -- Scott McMorrow Principal Engineer SiQual, Signal Quality Engineering 18735 SW Boones Ferry Road Tualatin, OR 97062-3090 (503) 885-1231 http://www.siqual.com Patrick Vincent wrote: > Hi everybody, > > What do you think of using Resistor Networks (R-PACK) for SSTL shunt and > series termination? > > Me, I like to use discrete resistor for the shunt termination.
