7.1.4 Printed Circuit Board Controlled Impedance
Controlled impedance for each layer of the IXDP465 platform x16 Processor Module is
necessary to provide proper matching from driver to receiver(s) for improved signal
integrity and higher reliability in the signal analysis results obtained through
simulation. As indicated in Figure 36 on page 86, Layers 4, 6, 7, and 9 are impedance
controlled for clock routing (60-Ω, single-ended’ 120-Ω, differential) as well as all other
DDR signals (50 Ω, single-ended). Layers 3 and 10 are also impedance controlled for
50-Ω, single-ended traces.
