5.1 Introduction
The Intel
®
855GME Chipset Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM system memory interface consists
of SSTL-2 compatible signals. These SSTL-2 compatible signals have been divided into several
signal groups: data, control, command, CPC, clock, and feedback signals. Table 27 summarizes the
different signal grouping. Refer to the Intel
®
855GM/855GME Chipset Graphics and Memory
Controller Hub (GMCH) Datasheet for details on the signals listed.
