Hi, I'm designing an embedded system with DDR. I'm using a CPU connected to an on board four 16 bit DDR devices (no DIMM). I have 2 questions though - 1. can I use only a series termination on the data bus (I saw a few AN that state that if the disctance between the controller and the DDR IC's is upto 2" its ok). has anyone did it with a 200MHz clock ? 2. since the address and control lines operate in half the data rate and the DDR controller is very lightly loaded (only 4 chips) can I use only series termination for address and control ? has anyone did it with good resaults ? thanks, Aric _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
