— SDRAM component IBIS models. The 66-MHz unbuffered SDRAM IBIS models are

available in x8 and x16 configurations from various memory manufacturers.

3.0 Simulation Block Diagram

Figure 1 shows the simulation block diagram for the Low-Power Module/DIMM memory

interface. The Pentium II Processor Mobile Module MMC-2 I/O Buffer Model describes the

interconnect characteristics between the Low-Power Module 400-pin connector, and the 82443BX

Host Bridge/Controller.

As shown in Figure 1, the 400-pin connector is used to model the net (TL-1) and the 400-pin

connector model. The 4-clock, 66-MHz, 72-bit Unbuffered SDRAM DIMM specification, which

describes the interconnect characteristics of the SDRAM DIMM, is used to model the nets (TL-3,

TL-4, TL-5, TL-6) of DIMM. Based on all the corners of simulations, as described in Section 5.0,

the interconnect on the system electronics (SE) board (TL-2) can be specified to meet the setup/

hold requirements for both the SDRAM and 82443BX Host Bridge/Controller.

Low-Power Module Memory Bus Simulation Methodology

8Application Note

Figure 2, shows the Pi-element network model used for the 400-pin module connector.

Figure 3 shows the Pi-element network model used for the DIMM connector.

5.0 Simulation Conditions

The DIMM topology routing for each signal is defined in the 4-Clock 66 MHz 72-Bit ECC

Unbuffered SDRAM DIMM design specification. Figure 4 shows the 2-DIMM system connection

and the possible receiver pin loads for each memory signal. For example, a fully populated x8 with

ECC arrangement for a 2-DIMM system yields the heaviest receiving pin load (2 x 18 = 36 loads)

on the SRAS_A#, SCAS_A#, WE_A#, and MAB# signals, as shown in Table 3. Since the Low-

Power Module is also designed to support a 1-DIMM system, a x16 arrangement DIMM yields the

lightest pin load (four loads) on the same signals.

The heaviest and lightest receiving pin loads for each Low-Power Module memory signal is used

for slow (setup) and fast (hold) corner simulations, respectively.

The DIMMs used for this simulation are x8, x8 with ECC, and x16 DIMM arrangements.

Low-Power Module Memory Bus Simulation Methodology

10 Application Note

Table 4 lists the Low-Power Module/DIMM condition used in the simulation. Each driver/receiver

pair of the memory signal with the heaviest/lightest pin load is simulated with these conditions.

The first four entries of the table are used for slow corner (setup) simulations in conjunction with

heaviest receiver pin loads of the driver/receiver signal pair. The last four entries of the table are

used for fast corner (hold) and signal quality simulations in conjunction with the lightest receiver

pin loads of the driver/receiver signal pair.

In general, a simulation tool assumes a no-loss transmission line in the pre-layout simulation. Also,

each signal is simulated as a single net. No crosstalk is taken into account.

After the S.E. board is designed to meet the memory interface trace length requirement, a crosstalk

simulation can be run with two adjacent parallel lines. The stackup and trace width are varied to

run a fast and slow corner simulation. However, this document only describes the methodology for

pre-layout simulations.
