PRODUCTION DATA.
High-speed (HS) bypass capacitors are critical for proper DDR3 interface operation. It is particularly important to minimize the parasitic series inductance of the HS bypass capacitors, the AM335x device DDR3 power, and the AM335x device DDR3 ground connections. Table 7-65 contains the specification for the HS bypass capacitors as well as for the power connections on the PCB. Generally speaking, it is good to:
