When x1 (single) memory (DDR4) device (x1 (single), 16-bit) is used, the
recommendation is to follow point-to-point topology (connections).
Summary of point-to-point topology
implementation:
- For differential clock
DDR0_CK0, DDR0_CK0_n, AC termination x2 R in series (value = Zo −
Single-ended impedance) and a filter capacitor 0.01μF or value recommended
by the memory manufacturer connected to the center of two resistors and DDR
PHY IO supply VDDS_DDR is recommended.
- VREFCA (VDDS_DDR/2) is the
reference voltage used for control, command, and address inputs to the
memory (DDR4) devices. When VTT terminations and VTT termination LDO is not
used, VREFCA is derived from VDDS_DDR using a resistor divider (two
resistors (1kΩ, ±1%, recommended value) connected across VDDS_DDR and VSS)
with a filter capacitor (0.1μF, recommended value) connected in parallel to
the resistors. An additional decoupling capacitor is recommended near to the
VREFCA pin (close to memory (DDR4) device).
- External VTT terminations for
address and control signals are optional.
When VTT terminations are used for the
address and control signals when x1 DDR4 is used, use a Sink or Source DDR
Termination Regulator (LDO) to generate the required VTT supply.
When x2 (two) memory (DDR4) devices (x2 (two), 8-bit) are used, the recommendation is
to follow Fly-by topology (connections).
Summary of Fly-by topology
implementation:
- External VTT terminations for
address, control, and clock signals are recommended.
- Sink or Source DDR
Termination Regulator (LDO) is recommended to generate the VTT supply.
- The Sink or Source DDR
Termination Regulator (LDO) is used to generate the reference voltage VREFCA
(VDDS_DDR/2).
- The recommendation is to add
decoupling capacitors for the reference voltage.
