Hello Jessica, the DRAM specification is designed to allow Point to Multipoint connections. Especially the Derating is implemented to take care of systems with very high load. The part for slew rates higher than 1V/ns is in the table, but was not really discussed in much detail. Targtet was to take care of systems with many DRAMs in parallel which will have a low slew rate. It is not the PCB slew rate degradation, but the input load of the DRAMs that will reduce the slew rate ...
