Figure 70: GT-64260A Chip Select Reference Point

Figure 71

describes the Chip Select signal routing topologies on the DIMM module. Each GT-64260A SCS* signal

is connected to two DIMM CS* pins (32-bits data width per SCS*). This means that in the sample memory config-
uration (one physical bank with eight devices), the SCS* signal is connected to eight SDRAM devices.
