Table 35. DDRII Data and Control Signal Group Routing Guidelines

Parameter

Definition

 

 

Minimum Spacing to Other DDR Signals

20.0 mils

 

 

Minimum Spacing to non-DDR Signals

25.0 mils

 

 

Maximum Via Count

5 per trace

 

 

Total Trace Length

1000 mils to 2000 mils

 

 

Notes:

1. Nominal trace width is determined by board physical characteristics and stack-up. This value should be verified with the PWB manufacturer to achieve the desired Zo.

2. Nominal pair to pair spacing is determined by board physical characteristics and stack-up. This value should be verified with the PWB manufacturer to achieve the desired Zdiff.

7.3.3.3Command Groups

The command signal groups include all signals D_MA[13:0]/DDR_MA[13:0],

D_BA[1:0]/DDR_BA[1:0], D_RAS/DDR_RAS, D_CAS/DDR_CAS and D_WE/DDR_WE. The groups should be routed on internal layers, except for pin escapes. It is recommended that pin escape vias be located directly adjacent to the ball pads on all signals. Surface layer routing should be minimized. The following table provides routing guidelines for signals within these groups.
