Clock Enable Routing
The MCH provides a single clock enable (CKE) signal. This signal is used during initialization to
indicate that valid power and clocks are being applied to the DIMMs. Because the CKE signal has
higher loading, it requires a lower impedance. The recommended impedance for the CKE signal is
40
Ω
. This can be achieved using a 7.5 mil wide trace on the recommended stackup (refer to
). It is acceptable to route the CKE signal 5 mils wide when breaking out of the MCH.
The CKE signal requires a parallel termination resistor (Rtt) to DDR VTERM placed as close to
the last DIMM connector as possible.
NOTE:
Indicated lengths measure from the MCH pin to the DIMM connector pin.
