EVMAM1808: DQGATE 4mil → 5mil ⇒ signal integrity problem?

Anonymous

Hi,

I would like to ask a question with L138 DDR2 controller DQGATE routing.

I noticed that there is a trace width 4mil → 5mil change when they go from L138 chip BGA region to outer region.

  1. There is no specification in L138 datasheet SPRS586C on DQGATE trace width.
  2. From the viewpoint of signal integrity, non-uniform cross section would certainly cause reflection. Since DQGATE is “DDR2 loopback signal for external DQS gating”, I wonder if it possible that reflection could cause error in the time of the loopback signal.

Could anyone clarify on this?
