6.5.1 Routing Impedances – KeyStone I Devices

The DDR3 interface on KeyStone I devices has, in general, been verified to operate up to 1333 MT/s with up to nine loads on the fly-by nets (address, control, command and clock). Validation has focused on single-rank memory topologies with only a single load on the data group signals. Topologies with fewer than nine loads should all operate at a 1333 MT/s level of performance or below.
