4.7.2 Overshoot and Undershoot Specifications

Overshoot (OS) and undershoot (US) limitations are defined in the following tables and figures. A theoretical instantaneous maximum upper and lower amplitude limit of 400 mV is allowed for overshoots and undershoots (assuming zero time is involved). Because each overshoot and undershoot has a component of time, each applicable signal must be further independently evaluated. Table 4-6 shows the limitations as listed in the current released standard for all address and control signals. Measurements are obtained at the pin of the memory DRAM and not the DSP.

Table 4-6 OS and US Requirements for Address and Control Lines
Speed Max pk OS Amplitude (V) Max pk US Amplitude (V) Max OS Area Above VDD (V-ns) Max US Area Below VSS (V-ns)

DDR3-1333 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.4
DDR3-1600 0.4 0.4 0.33 0.33

Figure 4-1 shows the limitations as listed in the current released standard for all address and control pins.

Table 4-7 shows the limitations as listed in the current released standard for all data, clock, strobe, and mask signals.
