Practical DDR3 - Part 2

In part 1 of our DDR3 webinar, we established some key points to consider when handling the timing issues of DDR3. In part 2, we will introduce the following copper-related aspects of DDR3:

• Serpentines
  

            - Why they are needed
            - When to use them
            - Proper methods
            - Issue that occur when not done correctly

• Signal Group and swapping
  

• Pin delays and swapping
  

• On-Die-Termination (ODT)
  

            - What is it
            - Why it is important

• Vias
  

We will demonstrate these concepts and address rules, schematic issues, length matching, and xSignals in Altium Designer. Please note that many of these concepts apply to other EDA tools.
