Table 32.	DDR-Clock-to-DQS-Write Timing Parameters

	Symbol		Parameter	Min	Max	Units	Notes

	T1		IXP45X/IXP46X network processors output valid for		1.4	ns	1
	T1		DDRI_DQS prior to the transition of DDR_M_CLK		1.4	ns	1
	T2		IXP45X/IXP46X network processors output hold time for		1.0	ns	1
	T2		DDRI_DQS after the transition of DDR_M_CLK		1.0	ns	1

	T3		Required write command to DQS latching transition at		1.875	ns	1
	T3		DDR memory device (early transition)		1.875	ns	1

	T4		Required write command to DQS latching transition at		1.875	ns	1
	T4		DDR memory device (late transition)		1.875	ns	1

			Allowable difference between IXP45X/IXP46X network
	T5		processors DDR_M_CLK output and first DQS transition		0.475	ns	1
			(early transition)

	T6		Allowable difference between IXP45X/IXP46X network
	T6		processors DDR_M_CLK output and first DQS transition		0.875	ns	1
			(late transition)

	Notes:
	1.	DDR_M_CLK represents the combined clock signal for DDR_CK and DDR_CK_N.

7.1.3Printed Circuit Board Layer Stackup

The layer stackup used for the IXDP465 platform x16 Processor Module is shown in Figure 35 on page 85. The example is for a 12-layer, printed circuit board with eight signal layers and four plane layers.

•Layers 5 and 8 are used as digital ground planes

•Layers 2 and 11 are used as split planes for the different voltage references (3.3 V and 2.5 V).

Details on the voltage reference layout are available in the CAD database or Gerber files database for the IXDP465 platform x16 Processor Module.
