Figure 66: DIMM Connector Package Model

The tables below show the required data bus AC timing for the GT-64260A SDRAM interface and SDRAM
devices.

GT-64260A to SDRAM data bus timing calculations:

Tcycle > Toutput_delay(GT-64260A) + Tsetup(SDRAM) + Tdelay(fly_time) + Tclock_skew

7.5 > 3.8 + 1.5 + Tdelay(fly_time) + 0.5

Tdelay(fly_time) < 1.7 ns

Figure 67

shows a simulation for a 0.8 ns delay trace. The fly time is measured from the GT-64260A reference

point determined in

Figure 63 on page 112

(2.1 ns) to the Vil measured on the SDRAM pin (2.5 ns) in the figure

below (board simulation).
