1- No. VSS is the reference for the measurement, therefore assumed as 0 volts. 2- Volts times nanoseconds should not exceed the limit, e.g. 0.4V for 1 nanosecond and 0.8V for 1/2 nanosecond are both at the limit. Typically though, max undershoot should be kept below one diode drop as a matter of good practice. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sriram A Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 1:02 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] DDR3 - Undershoot Area and Vss Hello, Someone kindly help me in understanding few things to be more specific with DDR3 Spec. 1.Do Vss value will vary based on Typ, Min and Max conditions? Eg. Vdd/Vddq have voltage spec like 1.425V, 1.5 and1.575 respectively based on Min, Typ and Max Conditions.(Jedec Spec) My doubt is do Vss also vary based on this parameters? 2. Please help me in understanding Maximum undershoot area below Vss. Eg. 0.4 V-ns (as per DDR3 Jedec Spec). Please be more specific about Vns (What is V-ns means here?) and how to calculate the area for undershoot (in Vns) below Vss.
