System Memory Design Guidelines (DDR-SDRAM)
5.4.7.4
CPC Group Package Length Table
The package length data in
shall be used to match the overall length of each CPC signal to
its associated clock reference length.
5.4.8
Feedback – RCVENOUT#, RCVENIN#
The 82855GME provides a feedback signal called ‘receive enable’ (RCVENIN#), which is used to
measure timing for memory read data. The Intel 855GME chipset has the RCVENOUT# signal
shunted directly to RCVENIN# inside the package to reduce timing variation. With this change it is
no longer necessary to provide an external connection. However, it is recommended that both
signals be transitioned to the bottom side with vias located adjacent to the package ball in order to
facilitate probing.
5.5
ECC Guidelines
The GMCH may be configured to operate in an ECC data integrity mode that allows multiple bit
error detection and single bit error correction. This option to design for and support ECC DDR
memory modules is dependent on design objectives. By default ECC functionality is disabled on
the platform.
For more information on ECC functionality, see the Intel® 855GME Chipset Graphics and
Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) Specification Update Addendum for Embedded Applications.
5.5.1
GMCH ECC Functionality
When non-ECC memory modules are to be the only supported memory type on the platform, the
eight DDR check bits signals, associated strobe and data mask bit associated with the ECC device
for each DIMM may be left as no connects on the GMCH.
