SO-DIMM Module — Unbuffered SDRAM/SGRAM Graphics
12
Revision 0.91
7.0 Electrical Characteristics
The module electrical characteristics are carefully controlled to allow system configurations with
two separate memory arrays. This allows one module to be present, plus memory soldered directly
to the motherboard or add-in card PCB. Currently, two modules are not being supported. Routing
on the main board will generally be done as a T-topology. The module’s electrical characteristics
(as well as the main board’s characteristics) must be carefully implemented to insure a balanced
T-topology.
The board must have a characteristic impedance between 50 and 85 ohms.
The following table lists the suggested flight time budgets for a typical graphic system using an
early/late memory clock.
