DDR Termination
For better signal integrity, DDR2 and DDR3 clock, address, command and control signals
need to be terminated. For DDR2, ODT and CKE are not terminated and should be pulled
down during memory initialization with a 4.7 k
Ω
resistor to GND. For DDR3, the DRST_B
signal is not terminated and should be pulled down during memory initialization with a
4.7 k
Ω
resistor to GND.
LPDDR2 does not require termination.
shows the DDR termination requirements.
Note:
DDR3 memory also supports terminated DQS signals through the TDQS_P and TDQS_N pins.
This feature is not supported on Zynq-7000
AP SoC
devices and those pins should be left floating.
DDR Trace Length
All DDR memory devices should be placed as closely to the Zynq-7000 AP SoC device as
possible.

Notes:
1. A guard-band is a ring of copper driven by a low-impedance source to the same voltage as the high impedance node. It is
used to protect against surface leakage currents.
