Differential DDR SDRAM clock to DIMM 3 for registered

 

 

DIMMs. 1

MEMCLK_H/L[1]

O-IOD

Differential DDR SDRAM clock to the middle of DIMM 1 for

 

 

unbuffered DIMMs, or DIMM 1 for registered DIMMs.1

MEMCLK_H/L[0]

O-IOD

Differential DDR SDRAM clock to the middle of DIMM 1 for

 

 

unbuffered DIMMs, or DIMM 1 for registered DIMMs.1

MEMCKEA

O-IOS

Clock Enables to DIMMs. Used to gate clocks for power

MEMCKEB

 

management functionality.1

MEMDQS[17:0]

B-IOS

DRAM Data Strobes synchronous with MEMDATA and

 

 

MEMCHECK during DRAM read and writes.1

MEMDATA[63:0]

B-IOS

DRAM Interface Data Bus

MEMCHECK[7:0]

B-IOS

DRAM Interface ECC Check Bits

 

 

 

MEMCS_L[7:0]

O-IOS

DRAM Chip Selects1

MEMRASA_L

O-IOS

DRAM Row Address Select. MEMRASA_L and

MEMRASB_L

 

MEMRASB_L are functionally identical. Two copies are

 

 

provided to accommodate the loading of unbuffered DIMMs.1

MEMCASA_L

O-IOS

DRAM Column Address Select. MEMCASA_L and

MEMCASB_L

 

MEMCASB_L are functionally identical. Two copies are

 

 

provided to accommodate the loading of unbuffered DIMMs.1

MEMWEA_L

O-IOS

DRAM Write Enable. MEMWEA_L and MEMWEB_L are

MEMWEB_L

 

functionally identical.

 

 

Two copies are provided to accommodate the loading of

 

 

unbuffered DIMMs.1

MEMADDA[13:0]

O-IOS

DRAM Column/Row Address. Two copies are provided to

MEMADDB[13:0]

 

accommodate the loading of unbuffered DIMMs. During

 

 

precharges, activates, reads, and writes, the two copies

 

 

are inverted from each other (except A[10] which is used for

 

 

auto-precharge) to minimize switching noise. The signals are

 

 

inverted only when the bus is used to carry address

 

 

information.1

MEMBANKB[1:0]

 

accommodate the loading of unbuffered DIMMs. During

 

 

precharges, activates, reads, and writes the two copies are

 

 

inverted from each other to minimize switching noise. The

 

 

signals are inverted only when the bus is used to carry address

 

 

information.1

MEMRESET_L

O-IOS

DRAM Reset pin for Suspend-to-RAM power management

 

 

mode. This pin is required for registered DIMMs only.

MEMVREF

VREF

DRAM Interface Voltage Reference1

MEMZP

A

Compensation Resistor tied to VSS1

MEMZN

A
