Design Checklist
3.6.2 DIMM Solution With FET Switches
•
With existing 64Mbit technology, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB support for servers and
workstations must have 4 double sided DIMMs.
•
500 ohm - 1K ohm pull-down resistors on each of the second inputs (1A2, 2A2, etc.) are
recommended on the FET switches (500 ohms is recommended based on simulation) to
prevent a direct short to ground while switching.
•
All 72 DQ lines are fed through the FET switch.
•
The current FET switch is Pericom PI5C16212A, package type A56. See third-party vendor
list for more FET switch vendors.
•
12 functional units per part requires 6 devices on motherboard.
3.6.3 Registered SDRAM
•
There may be power and thermal considerations for registered DIMMs. If a design is going to
support registered DIMMs, the DIMM spacing may need to be evaluated based on mechanical
and cooling issues.
•
REGE, pin 147 on all the DIMMs needs a 0 ohm pull-up to enable registered DIMMs.
•
Data lines are directly connected to the SDRAM components, while all address and control
signals are registered. The clock signal is routed via a PLL to all the SDRAM devices.
•
Access to registered DIMMs requires an additional clock of leadoff latency, programmable in
the 82443GX.
