22.3.4 Data and Control Star Topology
Data and control signals require very similar guidelines as stated in the above Section
22.3.3, โAddress Star Topologiesโ on page 241, but with a very important key
difference, it is required to place a series 22 ohm damping resistor at the destination
end of the transmission line. This will help damp the over shoot of signals when the
data logic levels are generated by the peripherals. The overshoot can be generated
when reading the devices and the signals are propagated on the bus. Match signals
groups as stated in the above section to approximately 500 mils.
Figure 149 shows the star topology used in the Development Board design to
interconnect the data and control signals to the various peripherals in the LEB bus.
Table 90 provides the general routing rules such as impedance, min and max trace
lengths.
22.3.4.1 Adding Delay to EX_RD#
The EP80579 requires a 2nSec (min) read hold time (Trdhold) on the data bus when
reading external devices connecting to the LEB interface. Some of the external devices
are able to meet the requirement but many of them do not.

1. Routing where trace is 4 mil wide and 4mil spacing is implemented to escape\ enter BGA
2. The Breakout \ Breakin Length is defined from the pin of the BGA, to where 4 mil spacing
increases to the required spacing per SI recommendations.
