5.2.5. Feedback - RCVENOUT#, RCVENIN#
The MCH-M provides a feedback signal called “receive enable” (RCVEN#), which is used to gate the
strobe inputs for read data. There are two pins on the MCH-M to facilitate the use of RCVEN#. The
RCVENOUT# pin is an output of the MCH-M and the RCVENIN# pin is an input to the MCH-M.
RCVENOUT# must connect to RCVENIN#.
The RCVEN# signal must be routed on the same layer as the system memory clocks. It should transition
from the top signal layer to an inner signal layer under the MCH-M, routed referenced to ground for the
entire length, and then transition from the inner signal layer back to the top signal layer under the MCH-
M.
