Hi Jackle, CL means Column Latency, because after the cell has been selected, the data needs some time to 'go to outside', this duration is defined by tck*CL. For example, for 1600-11-11-11, the actual time is 1.25ns * 11 = 13.75ns. This 13.75ns is DRAM's characteristic, it's almost the minimum requirement during actual operation. If you downgrade the frequency, the system will set the CL=9, 1.5 * 9 = 13.5ns.  Best Regards!

So, i checked the DDR3 spec, i found tck(avg) is correlated with CL value. my question is what is the relationship of the two parameters??? any comment is appreciated. -- æææ æå¨ ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List forum is accessible at:        http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at:        //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at:       http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
