Introduction
Hany is WW-Business-Development Manager & Master Application Expert for HSD.
Before joining Agilent, Hany was the director of SIE/EMC System Design and Manufacturing at NVIDIA, dealing with the design and analysis of high-speed digital and analog interconnecting systems (DDR3, GDDR3/5, LVDS, HDMI/DP & PCIe) for GPU boards and the Tegra-1/2 Smartphone systems.
Before joining NVIDIA, he worked at Intel for 10-years heading the Memory Architecture Group (MAG) designing system memory (PC100/133, Rambus & DDR1/2/3) for desktop, notebook and workstations based on Intel chipsets and microprocessors. Hany also worked at Micron and TI.
He has a Ph.D. in Computational Electromagnetics of MMIC from the University of Toronto and an M.Sc. and a B.Sc. from Cairo University in Egypt.

Why Memory Channel is a Challenge compared to
SERDES?
• Single Ended bi-directional DQ bus running at 7GB/s on FR4
material for GDDR5 apps
• X-talk and Return-Path-Discontinuity is a BIG ENEMY
• No Equalization
• Very limited pre-/de-emphasis techniques
• Very Wide Interface: Almost 150-signals routing
• SDRAM is a very Cheap Commodity device: SDRAM eats
45% of the eye & Controller eats another 30% Leaving ONLY
25% for the FR4 channel

DDR 4 Eye Mask Position and Margins
March 8, 2013 40
Eye mask is centered on DQS crossing and Vcent.
Voltage and timing margin can be measured from each corner of the eye mask.
Impact of Measurement Procedure on DDR4 Spec
The exact meaning of DDR4 AC Parameters is defined by the
precise procedure used to measure them.
Agreement on this is important in replacing TBD values with
realistic numbers.
March 8, 2013 41
DDR 4 TdiVW Timing Margin to Mask (up to 2133).
March 8, 2013 42
TdiVW = minimum time from mask corner to eye.
DDR 4 TdiVW Margin to Mask Detail (up to 2133).
March 8, 2013 43
125ps
62.5ps 62.5ps
% Margin is then (Actual-Spec)/Spec*100% or
(118.8ps-62.5ps)/62.5ps * 100% = 90%
DDR 4 Eye Voltage Margin to Mask (up to 2133).
March 8, 2013 44
VdiVW = minimum voltage from mask corner to eye.
DDR 4 VdiVW Margin to Mask (up to 2133).
March 8, 2013 45
136mV
68mV
68mV
Voltage margin is measured analogously to timing margin:
Margin is then (139mv-68mv)/68mV * 100% =104%
DDR 4 Eye Margin to Mask 2400 and greater.
March 8, 2013 46
BER contour 1E-12
At DDR4/2400 and above the extrapolated BER contour is used.
Since direct measurement beyond 1e-7 is extremely slow a standard dual Dirac
model is used to compute the contour from actual measured waveforms.
DDR 4 Eye Margin to Mask 2400 and greater.
March 8, 2013 47
Margin is really calculated the
same, to BER contour rather
than direct measurement.
TdiVW margin = min time from
mask corner
VdiVW margin = min voltage
from mask corner
Margin = (Actual-Spec)/Spec
*100%
Additional consideration for VdiVW
March 8, 2013 48
Ringback could cause the
meaurement using the mask
corners to be incorrect.
VdiVW – voltage must stay
above/below VdiVW for
TdiVW time.
Margin should really be the
min voltage in the entire
TdiVW range.
Requires additional study to
determine if this method
should be recommended over
mask corner measurements.

is important to capture VddQ-Noise Coupling to Data-Signals
• MOM is well suited to Model Data-Signals + VddQ + VssQ

Antenna-Gain of -19dB vs. -11dB (8dB difference)
Conclusion
Return-Path-Discontinuity caused 40ps loss of eye-margin @ 1.33GB/s
Also caused increased x-talk between Power to Signals and Wide-band noise coupling around 5GHz range
Also caused +8dB extra Radiated Emission
Therefore, Cost-reduction On-PKG by reducing # of layers or GND-stitching On-Die Cost adder of PLLs for Spread-Spectrum Enabling to pass FCC EMI Certification Requirements.
