5 5 Memory Design Considerations When Migrating to DDR3 Interfaces from DDR2
This paper will review the new DDR3 features and compare and contrast them to previous features available in the DDR2 specification. One of the biggest changes is the in Physical Layer (PHY) portion of the memory interface and these changes will be high-lighted and illustrated with an example design of a high performance processor interface. The areas where backwards compatibility should be maintained will also be illustrated with an example design, showing how simple changes can provide significant benefits in re-use and system flexibility.
