General notes, which may apply for all AC parameters:
NOTE 1: DDR2 SDRAM AC timing reference load
The below figure represents the timing reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of
the part. It is not intended to be either a precise representation of the typical system environment or a
depiction of the actual load presented by a production tester.

The output timing reference voltage level for single ended signals is the crosspoint with VTT. The output
timing reference voltage level for differential signals is the crosspoint of the true (e.g. DQS) and the
complement (e.g. DQS#) signal.
NOTE 2: Slew Rate Measurement Levels
a) Output slew rate for falling and rising edges is measured between VTT - 250 mV and VTT + 250 mV for
single ended signals. For differential signals (e.g. DQS – DQS#) output slew rate is measured between
DQS – DQS# = - 500 mV and DQS – DQS# = + 500 mV. Output slew rate is guaranteed by design, but is
not necessarily tested on each device.
b) Input slew rate for single ended signals is measured from VREF (dc) to VIH (ac), min for rising edges and
from VREF(dc) to VIL(ac),max for falling edges.For differential signals (e.g. CK – CK#) slew rate for rising
edges is measured from CK – CK# = - 250 mV to CK -CK# = + 500 mV (+ 250 mV to - 500 mV for falling
edges).
c) VID is the magnitude of the difference between the input voltage on CK and the input voltage on CK#, or
between DQS and DQS# for differential strobe.
NOTE 3: DDR2 SDRAM output slew rate test load
Output slew rate is characterized under the test conditions as bellow
