Intel® IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors—Category

7.2.4Command Group

The command signal group includes the signals DDRI_MA[13:0], DDRI_BA[1:0], DDRI_RAS, DDRI_CAS and DDRI_WE. The following simulations were constructed for the 2 bank x16 device configuration where each signal would have six receivers.

Table 39 identifies the transmission line lengths for the address (DDRI_MA3) topology shown in Figure 45 and Figure 47. These lengths were chosen as realistic goals given the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors to DDR body to body separation of no more than 500 mils.
