Note 1. Refer to Figure 7-8 "DDR Write Timing Measurement Points" on page 615 and Figure 7-9 "DDR Read Timing Mea-
surement Points" on page 616.
Note 2. The SDCLKP and SDCLKN clocks are inversions of each other (differential clocking).
Note 3. These parameters guarantee device timing, but they may be tested to a looser value to allow for tester uncertain-
ties. Devices that meet the loosened tester values meet specs when correlated with lab measurements.
Note 4. t
VAL2
and t
DQSCK
timings are achieved for different DIMM loadings by proper initial settings of the
GLCP_DELAY_CONTROLS MSR. Typical tester results with clock and address loaded equally and no pro-
grammed delay for address are 0 ns for t
VAL2
.
Note 5. The DQ timing relative to DQS are on a per-byte basis only. DQ[7:0] and DQM[0] should be measured against
DQS[0], DQ[15:8] and DQM[1] should be measured against DQS[1], etc.
