EP80579 Integrated Processor Product Line
The differential clock pairs must be routed differentially from the EP80579 pin to their
associated DIMM pins and must maintain the correct isolation spacing from other
signals. Additionally, it is important to maintain the correct spacing and length
matching between the pair to protect the differential integrity.
Figure 80 and Table 41 depict the recommended topology and layout routing guidelines
for the DDR2 differential clocks. Route differential pair signals on the same layer.
The clocks are routed point-to-point. No external terminations are required for the
clock signals because they are terminated on the DIMMs.
