10.3 AC and DC Logic Input Levels for Differential Signals
10.3.1 Differential Signals Definition
Figure 2. Definition of differential ac-swing and "time above ac level" tDVAC
10.3.2 Differential Swing Requirement for Clock (CK-CK) and Strobe (DQS-DQS)
NOTE
:
1. Used to define a differential signal slew-rate.
2. for CK - CK use V
IH
/V
IL
(AC) of ADD/CMD and V
REFCA
; for DQS - DQS use V
IH
/V
IL
(AC) of DQs and V
REFDQ
; if a reduced ac-high or ac-low level is used for a signal group,
then the reduced level applies also here.
3. These values are not defined, however they single-ended signals CK, CK, DQS, DQS need to be within the respective limits (V
IH
(DC) max, V
IL
(DC)min) for single-ended sig-
nals as well as the limitations for overshoot and undershoot. Refer to "overshoot and Undershoot Specification"
[ Table 3 ] Allowed time before ringback (tDVAC) for CK - CK and DQS - DQS.
