5.6.2.2.2.2 Compatible JEDEC DDR2 Devices
Table 5-44 shows the parameters of the JEDEC DDR2 devices that are compatible with this interface.
Generally, the DDR2 interface is compatible with x16 or x8 DDR2-533 speed grade DDR2 devices.

(1) If the DDR2 interface is operated with a clock frequency less than 266 MHz, lower-speed grade DDR2 devices may be used if the
minimum clock period specified for the DDR2 device is less than or equal to the minimum clock period selected for the AM335x DDR2
interface.
(2) Higher DDR2 speed grades are supported due to inherent JEDEC DDR2 backwards compatibility.
(3) 92-terminal devices are also supported for legacy reasons. New designs will migrate to 84-terminal DDR2 devices. Electrically, the 92-
and 84-terminal DDR2 devices are the same.
5.6.2.2.2.3 PCB Stackup
The minimum stackup required for routing the AM335x device is a four-layer stackup as shown in Table 5-
45. Additional layers may be added to the PCB stackup to accommodate other circuitry, enhance signal
integrity and electromagnetic interference performance, or to reduce the size of the PCB footprint.

Bottom signal routing
(1) All signals that have critical signal integrity requirements should be routed first on layer 1. It may not be possible to route all of these
signals on layer 1 which requires some to be routed on layer 4. When this is done, the signal routes on layer 4 should not cross splits in
the power plane.
