2. Driver Strength should be selected based on actual system loading conditions. Figure 3, the AC Output Load
Circuit, represents the reference load used in defining the relevant timing parameters of this device.The 20pF
load capacitance is not expected to be a precise representation of either a typical system load or the
production test environment but is appropriate for Full Driver Strength. Setting the output drivers to 1/2 Driver
Strength, for a further example, is appropriate for a 10pF load.
3. The specific requirement is that DQS be Valid (High or Low) on or before this CK edge. The case shown (DQS
going from High-Z to logic Low) applies when no writes were previously in progress on the bus. If a previous
write was in progress, DQS could be High at this time, depending on tDQSS
.

This derating table is used to increase tDS / tDH in the case where the I/O slew rate is below 1.0V/ns

This derating table is used to increase tDS/tDH in the case where the DQ and DQS slew rates differ. The Delta
Rise / Fall Rate is calculated as 1/SlewRate1-1/SlewRate2. For example, if SlewRate1 = 1.0V/ns and SlewRate2
= 0.8V/ns, then the Delta Rise / Fall Rate = -0.25ns/V.
6. There must be at least one clock (CK) pulse during the tXP period.
7. tWTR is referenced from the positive clock edge after the last Data In pair.
8. tWR is referenced from the positive clock edge after the last desired Data In pair.
