NOTES:
1. Recommendations may change in a later revision of the design guide based on a post silicon simulation
analysis.
2. Where ever possible control signal should be routed on adjacent layers to the referenced plane. See Figure 25
below for example, the control signal routing should only route on Signal 1 and Signal 2 layer where Signal 1
may be external (microstrip) and Signal 2 may be internal (stripline) or where Signal 1 is internal (stripline) and
Signal 2 is external (microstrip).
3. It is possible to route control using 2 vias if one via is shared that connect to SO-DIMM and parallel termination
resistor.
Note: The overall maximum and minimum lengths to the SO-DIMM must comply with clock length matching
requirements.
