Recently, I'm going to layout a board which has a 200 pin SO-DIMM DDR slot, a DDR 333 memory module will be plugged in. Now, I wanna to simulate the data/command/control signals of the DDR traces between the MemoryControlUnit and the SO-DIMM DDR slot. I has got the ibis module of MemoryControlUnit, how can I get the ibis module of the 200 pin SO-DIMM slot? Or is there any other way to do this simulation?
I've downloaded the ibis module of DDR 333 memory module from www.micron.com, can I use this ibis module as the module of the 200 pin SO-DIMM slot?
By the way, I just layed out a few DDR signals, can I just simulate these signals first?By other words, can I simulate signals on board first before the whole board has been layed out?
Thank you, buenos.
In your post, you wrote
"4.) on the memory board, assign chip ibis models for those locations/numbers what will be used in an usual module. "
I cannot understand this, what's the reason of using chip ibis models? Can u explain this in detail?
Thanks very much!
because this way i can do multiboard simulations, and i can check signals on the memor-chip-pins, instead of the module pins. the signals have to be ok at the memory-chip-pins.
