7.3.3.3Command Groups

Hardware Design Guidelines—Intel®IXP43X Product Line of Network Processors

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.
