7.2.4 Command 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.
