The circuit shown is required to match the impedance of the DRCG to the 28 Ω channel
impedance. More detailed information can be found in the Direct Rambus Clock Generator
Specification.
The previously recommended 15 pF capacitors on CTM/CTM# should be removed. The 4 pF
capacitor shown in the figure should not be assembled (“no-stuff”).
