Hi Mani Kumar Anna , The capacitor could be used to isolate Vtt or Vdd planes from DDR clock switching signals. If your designs does not deal with complex topology or high speed operation, then I think you no need to use AC cap to Vtt or Vdd. You can just connect the common mode termination (two 50 Ohms resistors) to voltage rail. This helps to meet the crossover over point margins at your memory device.

Please let me know the usage of this.
