The control signals should be routed using 2 to 1 trace spacing to trace width ratio for signals within the
DDR group, except clocks and strobes. There should be a minimum of 20-mils of spacing to non-DDR
related signals. Control signals should be routed on inner layers with minimized external trace lengths.
