Hello Joel,

If you're using Aria II GX (from your other question), if I recall correctly, 
you don't have the option of fly-by since there's no leveling feature for that 
controller.

Subject: [SI-LIST] DDR3 termination on address / control lines

In my design there are two DDR3 chips on the boards.
Is it better to use a fly by termination or T with matched branches?
I am guessing fly by has better signal integrity and T has less skew between 
the parts, Not sure with just parts if skew would be an issue.
I will be simulating this but wanted to see if there is preferred approach.
We were given a reference design that does use T termination but I don't think 
it means we have to follow it.
Thanks
