Non-Target DRAM Termination in High Speed LPDDR System for Improved Signal Integrity

Impact of non-target ODT (On-Die Termination) in dual-rank DRAM is investigated on SoC-DRAM SI (signal integrity). Analysis at data rate of 4266Mbps was performed. It shows that terminating non-target DRAM improves SI of the target DRAM by ~3-5% of unit interval due to mitigation of reflections. This added timing margin is significant at high data rates.
