- Address / Command Setup, Hold and Derating
For all input signals the total tIS (setup time) and tIH (hold time) required is calculated by adding the data sheet
tIS(base) and tIH(base) and tIH(base) value to the delta tIS and delta tIH derating value respectively.
Example: tIS (total setup time) = tIS(base) + delta tIS.
Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vref(dc) and
the first crossing of VIH(ac)min. Setup (tIS) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between
the last crossing of Vref(dc) and the first crossing of VIL(ac)max. If the actual signal is always earlier than the
nominal slew rate line between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual
signal is later than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘Vref(dc) to ac region’, the slew rate of the
tangent line to the actual signal from the ac level to dc level is used for derating value.
Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of VIL(dc)max
and the first crossing of Vref(dc). Hold (tIH) nominal slew rate for a falling signal is defined as the slew rate between
the last crossing of VIH(dc)min and the first crossing of Vref(dc). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal
slew rate line between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, use nominal slew rate for derating value. If the actual signal is
earlier than the nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded ‘dc to Vref(dc) region’, the slew rate of a tangent
line to the actual signal from the dc level to Vref(dc) level is used for derating value. For a valid transition the input
signal has to remain above/below VIH/IL(ac) for some time tVAC. Although for slow slew rates the total setup time
might be negative (i.e. a valid input signal will not have reached VIH/IL(ac) at the time of the rising clock transition) a
valid input signal is still required to complete the transition and reach VIH/IL(ac).

NOTE 1: (ac/dc referenced for 1V/ns Address/Command slew rate and 2 V/ns differential CK-CK# slew rate)
NOTE 2: The tIS(base) AC150 (AC135) specifications are adjusted from the tIS(base) specification by adding an additional
100ps of derating to accommodate for the lower alternate threshold of 150mV (135mV) and another 25 ps to account for the
earlier reference point [(175 mv - 150 mV) / 1 V/ns] or [(160 mv - 135 mV) / 1 V/ns].
