Fly-By Layout For Multiple DRAM Modules

If you plan to use two or more DDR DRAM modules on your board, Efinix recommends using a fly-by layout. This method:
  • Avoids T-junctions on the PCB thereby improving the SNR.
  • Reduces the trace lengths between the modules.
  • The RTT provides the current and matches the impedance with the trace.

If you are only using one module, a fly-by design is not applicable.
