...and the reason for this 75%-125% relationship? my guess is to confidently migrate data from the DQS clock domain to the CK clock domain inside the SDRAM. (remember that no amount of double registering will ever solve this type of problem. if you don't want to drop bits you have to predict exactly where you can safely cross domains, and a way to do that is to constrain the relationship between the two clocks.)

In memory controller datasheet there must a parameter specifying DQS valid time before clock edge & DQS valid after clock edge. Using these timimg parameter you can find out theoretical maximum & minimum length for DQS signal with respect to Clock. =20 Regards Preetesh "Fraiman, Edi" <Edi.Fraiman@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: You have to be more accurate.

You may need to make sure that your lengths meet this timing. Rgds, Karthik On 9/26/06, Fraiman, Edi wrote:=20 Hi all, I have question about DDR interface layout. I understand that during PCB layout the DQS (data strobe) should be=20 routed with same length as DQ (data), DQM signals and Address bus and control signals (RAS,CAS, CKE,WE,CS) should be aligned to clock. But I do not understand what relationship (what the maximum difference in length) between DQS and CLOCK.
