Length Matching To CLK Match Address, Command, and Control to CLK signals within +/- 0.5”/0.6”. All
length match data is for overall Platform (package + board) length match.
Number of Vias • Maximum of 3
Routing Notes: • Use the LA or other debug headers of type SMD pads. LA headers can be
on the FLY nets.
Note: Within +/-0.5” is an Intel preference rule to guarantee enough margin for different
DDR3 brands. If the designer finds it difficult to satisfy the 0.5” rule, due to board
compatibility and manufactory limitation, a tolerance within +/- 0.6” is acceptable. The
designer must make sure the total trace length (Package + Board) is within +/- 0.6”.
