[SI-LIST] The necessity of Pull-up resistors in DDR2

Hello SI Experts
 

I've conducted some pre-layout simulations on a DDR2 bus connected to
on-board DDR2 devices.

 

I found out that I get proper waveforms even if I don't use pull-up
resistors on the Address & Control lines.

 

I wonder if this is an acceptable result! I've always been using those
pull-up resistors in previous designs.

 

Is it a mandatory requirement to have a pull-up resistor to VTT on these
lines?

If I don't use them, how is the dynamic current supposed to be supplied
to the lines?

 

What could go wrong (if at all) if I don't include them in the design?

 

Thanks
