Trace Width:
Brakeout Trace Width 4 mils
Stripline: 6.5 mils(L3/L8)
Airgap Spacing:
Brakeout spacing Min=4mils
DDR_CK to DDR_CK# 6mils
Pair to Pair Min=15mils
To any other signals Min=20mils

Total Trace Length (TTL)
2.0 in - 6.0 in
DDR_CK to DDR_CK#
Match within 10 mils
Skew: Match all pair to
pair group within 20 mils.
The shortest pair of the
group must not exceed
the longest pair of the
group by 20 mils. This
requirement is for the
complete length from
EP80579 to the farthest
DIMM connector.
DDR_CK/DDR_CK# Clock
pairs should be match in
length to CMD/ADDR
within 20 mils
See Section 9.7, โDDR2 Interface
System Interconnectโ.
Topology Point to Point
Groups are defined as follow:
First group CLK/CLK#[2:0]
Second group CLK/CLK#[5:3]
Reference Plane:
Ground and Power reference
plane.
Route Clock group on the same
layer from EP80579 to the
farthest DIMM.
No vias, except were required to
breakout.
