Length range formula for DIMM1:
X
1
= SCK[5:3]/SCK[5:3]# total reference length, including package length. Refer to Section 5.4.1
for more information.
Y
1
= SMAB[5,4,2,1] total length = GMCH Package length + L1, as shown in Figure 73, where:
(X
1
– 1.5”) ≤ Y
1
≤ (X
1
- 0.5”)
No length matching is required from DIMM1 to the termination resistor. Figure 74 depicts the
length matching requirements between the CPC signals and clock. A nominal CPC package length
of 500 mils may be used to estimate baseline Mbyte lengths.
