7.2.3 Control Group
The control signal group includes the signals DDRI_CS[1:0] and DDRI_CKE[1:0]. The
following simulations were constructed for the 2 bank x16 device configuration where
each signal would have three receivers.
Table 38 identifies the transmission line lengths for the chip select (CS0) topology
shown in Figure 43 on page 98. 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.
