JEDEC has two SSTL specs: SSTL_2 (2.5V) [JESD8-9B] and SSTL_3 (3.3V).
There is no SSTL_1 or SSTL_18 JEDEC spec.  

The HSTL spec is a 1.5V spec [JESD8-6]. The industry has created a 
defacto standard for HSTL operating at 1.8V (see Micron RLDRAM and 
QDRII data sheets 
http://download.micron.com/pdf/datasheets/sram/MT54W1MH18B_4.pdf )

On-die-termination has to balance many things including power and
SI.  The non-ideal termination is a compromise. See 
http://download.micron.com/pdf/technotes/TN4606.pdf for a look 
at some comparison values.

Subject: [SI-LIST] DDR-II: SSTL_18 & ODT



Hi SI-gurus,

I am a new member of this list and I have a few questions about DDR-II that
I 
was hoping someone could help me out with.  Currently, I don't have access
to 
JEDEC so most of my information is from alternate sources such as the
Samsung 
DDR-II spec.

o Can anyone point me at a SSTL_18 specification?

o Can someone help me understand the on-die-termination strategy for DDR-II?

Why are the values 75 & 150 Ohms?  What electrical topology is being
assumed?

o My initial analysis suggests that it is possible to use class I drivers

for 
the address bus (5 load) and also for a point-to-point data bus.  The data
bus 
may require some non-standard termination values though.  Does anyone have
any 
information that supports of refutes this?


Thanks in advance,
-Bret
