3.5.3.2 Eye Quality

The Vix_DQS ratio and Vix_CK ratio for data write and CA bus simulations are to be verified, at the DRAM pin/BGA. Figure 3-4 from the JEDEC specification explains how to measure the Vix ratio, as well as define the ration requirement(s).

Symbol Data Rate Unit Note
1600/1867 2133/2400/3200 3733/4266
Vix_CK_ratio - 25 - 25 - 25 % (1), (2)
Vix_DQS - 20 - 20 - 20 % (1), (2)
(1) Vix_CK_Ratio is defined by the equation: Vix_CK_Ratio = Vix_CK_FR|Min(f(t))|
(2) Vix_CK_Ratio is defined by the equation: Vix_CK_Ratio = Vix_CK_RF|Min(f(t))|
