One more basic thing to address is your memory bus termination. Even if your memory functions without them, you may want to use them on a board that requires low noise. Lines that are poorly terminated will ring or overshoot and this can generate noise. ----- Original Message ----- From: "임동순" <dongsoon72.lim@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <David.Carney@xxxxxxxxxx>; <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2011 10:57 AM Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: LC filters on SDRAM signal lines > In mobile phone, RF sensitivity problem due to memory interface noise is > general.
