Figure 67 depicts the SDQS to clock trace length matching diagram.
5.4.4.3 Data to Strobe Length Matching Requirements
The data bit signals SDQ[71:0] are grouped by byte lanes and associated with a data mask signal,
SDM[8:0], and a data strobe, SDQS[8:0]. The data and mask signals must be length matched to
their associated strobe within ± 25 mils, including package.
For DIMM0 this length matching includes the motherboard trace length to the pads of the DIMM0
connector (L1 + L2) plus package length.
For DIMM1, the motherboard trace length to the pads of the DIMM1connector (L1 + L2 + L3)
plus package length.
Length range formula for SDQ and SDM:
X = SDQS total length, including package length, as defined previously
Y = SDQ, SDM total length, including package length, within same byte lane, where
