DDR-SDRAM—Intel®IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors

Besides assigning clock signals (DDRI_CK and DDRI_CK_N) to the memory devices, there are two more requirements, one implemented in hardware (termination) and the other implemented in software (configuration), these requirements are explained as follow:

•It is recommended to properly terminate the clock output signals by the Thevenin terminations scheme as shown in Figure 37. Simulation is recommended for cases that required deviation from the recommended topology, which include series termination and trace impedance.

•It is required to tune the drive strength of the clock driver to properly drive clocks out to loads of one or two memory devices, terminated with Thevenins termination scheme. Follow the recommendations described in Section 7.1.6, “Resistive Compensation Register (Rcomp)” on page 88.

Note that when simulating, the IBIS model representation of signals DDRI_CK[2:0] and DDRI_CK_N[2:0] has been created for the new Rcomp settings described in Section 7.1.6, “Resistive Compensation Register (Rcomp)” on page 88
