about c6657 ddr sw leveling calculate



we use DDR3 PHY Calc v10.xlsx calcaute c6657 ddr sw leveling parameter,our c6657 has two K4B1G1646G make up 32bit data width,

the question is:

1、we only use one ck(CK0P,CK0N),four DQS(DQSP0~DQSP3,DQSN0~DQSN3),but the excel has eight CK and DQS,how do i fill out ;

2、what Microstrip length and Stripline length mean,I measure the length of the line fill in whitch column?

Microstrip length (inches) Stripline length (inches)
DQS0 0.000 1.325
CK_0 0.000 2.316
DQS1 0.000 1.140

  • Hi Yongling Bo,

    1)  The DDR3 PHY Calc spreadsheet is applicable to all KeyStone I devices. Some of these devices, for example the C6678, support a x64bit wide bus which has eight byte lanes. You can leave the length of the unused byte lanes as zero. 

    2) Microstrip refers to traces that are routed on the top or the bottom of the board. Stripline refers to traces that are routed on an inside layer of the board. Signals actually travel at different speeds in these two types of traces. The spreadsheet will compensate for the speed difference in the calculations. Enter to portion of the trace length that is on the top or bottom layers in the microstrip column and the rest of the length in the stripline column. 

    Regards, Bill
