Table 404.  Group: Board / Intersymbol Interference/Crosstalk
Display Name Identifier Description
Address and command ISI/crosstalk BOARD_LPDDR3_USER_AC_ISI_NS The address and command window reduction due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects. The number to be entered is the total of the measured loss of margin on the setup side plus the measured loss of margin on the hold side. Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information.
Read DQS/DQS# ISI/crosstalk BOARD_LPDDR3_USER_RCLK_ISI_NS The reduction of the read data window due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects on the DQS/DQS# signal when driven by the memory device during a read. The number to be entered is the total of the measured loss of margin on the setup side plus the measured loss of margin on the hold side. Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information.
Read DQ ISI/crosstalk BOARD_LPDDR3_USER_RDATA_ISI_NS The reduction of the read data window due to intersymbol inteference and crosstalk effects on the DQ signal when driven by the memory device during a read. The number to be entered is the total of the measured loss of margin on the setup side plus the measured loss of margin on the hold side. Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information.
Write DQS/DQS# ISI/crosstalk BOARD_LPDDR3_USER_WCLK_ISI_NS The reduction of the write data window due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects on the DQS/DQS# signal when driven by the FPGA during a write. The number to be entered is the total of the measured loss of margin on the setup side plus the measured loss of margin on the hold side. Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information.
Write DQ ISI/crosstalk BOARD_LPDDR3_USER_WDATA_ISI_NS The reduction of the write data window due to intersymbol interference and crosstalk effects on the DQ signal when driven by the FPGA during a write. The number to be entered is the total of the measured loss of margin on the setup side plus the measured loss of margin on the hold side. Refer to the EMIF Simulation Guidance wiki page for additional information.
Use default ISI/crosstalk values BOARD_LPDDR3_USE_DEFAULT_ISI_VALUES You can enable this option to use default intersymbol interference and crosstalk values for your topology. Note that the default values are not optimized for your board. For optimal signal integrity, it is recommended that you do not enable this parameter, but instead perform I/O simulation using IBIS models and Hyperlynx)*, and manually enter values based on your simulation results, instead of using the default values.
Table 405.  Group: Board / Board and Package Skews
Display Name Identifier Description
Average delay difference between address/command and CK BOARD_LPDDR3_AC_TO_CK_SKEW_NS The average delay difference between the address/command signals and the CK signal, calculated by averaging the longest and smallest address/command signal trace delay minus the maximum CK trace delay. Positive values represent address and command signals that are longer than CK signals and negative values represent address and command signals that are shorter than CK signals.
Maximum board skew within DQS group BOARD_LPDDR3_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_DQS_NS The largest skew between all DQ and DM pins in a DQS group. This value affects the read capture and write margins.
Average delay difference between DQS and CK BOARD_LPDDR3_DQS_TO_CK_SKEW_NS The average delay difference between the DQS signals and the CK signal, calculated by averaging the longest and smallest DQS trace delay minus the CK trace delay. Positive values represent DQS signals that are longer than CK signals and negative values represent DQS signals that are shorter than CK signals.
Package deskewed with board layout (address/command bus) BOARD_LPDDR3_IS_SKEW_WITHIN_AC_DESKEWED Enable this parameter if you are compensating for package skew on the address, command, control, and memory clock buses in the board layout. Include package skew in calculating the following board skew parameters.
Package deskewed with board layout (DQS group) BOARD_LPDDR3_IS_SKEW_WITHIN_DQS_DESKEWED Enable this parameter if you are compensating for package skew on the DQ, DQS, and DM buses in the board layout. Include package skew in calculating the following board skew parameters.
Maximum CK delay to device BOARD_LPDDR3_MAX_CK_DELAY_NS The maximum CK delay to device refers to the delay of the longest CK trace from the FPGA to any device.
Maximum DQS delay to device BOARD_LPDDR3_MAX_DQS_DELAY_NS The maximum DQS delay to device refers to the delay of the longest DQS trace from the FPGA to any device
Maximum system skew within address/command bus BOARD_LPDDR3_PKG_BRD_SKEW_WITHIN_AC_NS Maximum system skew within address/command bus refers to the largest skew between the address and command signals.
Maximum delay difference between devices BOARD_LPDDR3_SKEW_BETWEEN_DIMMS_NS This parameter describes the largest propagation delay on the DQ signals between ranks. For example, in a two-rank configuration where devices are placed in series, there is an extra propagation delay for DQ signals going to and coming back from the furthest device compared to the nearest device. This parameter is only applicable when there is more than one rank.
Maximum skew between DQS groups BOARD_LPDDR3_SKEW_BETWEEN_DQS_NS The largest skew between DQS signals.
