DDR PCB Layout Guidelines

The complexities of DDR4 and DDR5 devices make creating an error-free board that can successfully adhere to pertinent industry standards a difficult task. This challenge can be overcome by implementing DDR PCB layout guidelines and performing PCB simulation and analysis to efficiently verify DDR signal integrity and create a compliant PCB design.

DDR PCB Layout Guidelines eBook answers the following questions:

  • What enhancements differentiate DDR4 from DDR3?
  • What are the major design challenges when implementing DDR memory on your PCB?
  • What analysis and simulation capabilities are required to verify proper DDR operation?
  • How can you achieve a JEDEC compliant PCB design? 
  • How does simulation software help you optimize component placement, adhere to DDR routing constraints, and achieve proper timing for signal transfers?
  • How do you ensure that your simulation software solution will scale with you from DDR4 to DDR5?
