3.4.10 NXP i.MX8 QXP DDR3L-1866 validation board
The i.MX8 QXP DDR3L validation board used three 16-bit DDR3L devices in a fly-by topology: Two for the 32-bits of data and one
to support the ECC function. The i.MX8QXP board design differs from the previous fly-by topology boards in that two more series
resistors are added to each of the command/address traces. The first one is a 50 Ω resistor inserted in series with the nearest
DDR3L device and the second one is a 33 Ω resistor inserted in series with the middle DDR3L device. The details are as follows:
• 40 Ω single-ended trace impedance
1
is recommended for the trace up to the point where the trace branches to the nearest
DDR3L device. In addition, the trace branch connected to the termination resistor should also use 40 Ω single-ended line
