As to termination, the BGA package makes many of the usual techniques unusable or even harmful. Series termination, for instance, requires the resistors to be right next to the driver pin. On a typical BGA layout they'll be more like half way to the DRAM and work more like a speed bump in a road. And of course, the bidirectional data pins can't be terminated this way. The 5200 gives you a separate buss for SDRAM, so your best bet is to just tell the layout guy to do that buss first. These guys take great pride in understanding signal integrity, he (she) will know what to do... Mark C. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
