6.5.6.1. Single Rank x 8 Discrete (Component) Topology

Nine memory devices are required to cover 72 bits of data in a single channel, with one rank and ×8 memory devices.

The interface covers data bytes (DQ/DQS), address signals, command signals (BA, BG, RAS, CAS, WE, ACT, PAR), control signals (CKE, CS, ODT) and clocks (CLK).
