[SI-LIST] DDR3 Clock non-monotonicity issue

Hi Experts,
I am doing simulation and measurement for DDR3 interface operating at
1866MT/s in one of our fabricated board. We have 5 DDR3 (4-DDR & 1- ECC)
SDRAM chips in the Daisy chain. When I simulated for clock and probed at
pin of the first DRAM in the Daisy chain, the clock was highly
non-monotonic and this non-monotonicity decreases down the line of daisy
chain. When I did the measurement to validate the simulation using
Tektronix 12GHz differential probe at the first DRAM test points the signal
doesn’t have the non-monotonicity issue.  I am not sure what is causing the
problem, whether its an issue with IBIS Model or any. Btw I checked for
different clock drive strengths but the problem still exists. Any valuable
suggestion will be helpful for me to align the simulation & measurement.

Regards,

Balaji
