6.8 Miscellaneous Signals
The MCH uses a compensation signal to adjust buffer characteristics and output voltage swing over
temperature, process, and voltage skew. Calibration is done periodically by sampling the
DDRCOMP, DDRCVOH, and DDRCVOL pins on the MCH. Connect DDRCOMP to the DDR
termination voltage (1.25 V) through a 6.81 Ω ± 1% resistor as illustrated in Figure 6-14, and place
the resistor within 1 in. of the MCH. Likewise, keep the voltage divider networks within 1 in. of the
MCH (see Figure 6-15).
