Steve, You're right. The address and control lines go to all four SDRAM's. When I tried to use T topology, but it's very difficult to length match all four branches of the T. I'm now trying daisy-chain topology, it's easier to route and there're not branches of the T to match, but the trace lengths are longer than T topology. I will have to run some simulations. Which topology do most people use? Has anybody had any timing issues with a design using daisy-chain topology (since the traces are long)?
