Review Notes

No Description Resolution Status
1 CKE2 unconnected Not Required Closed
2 Need to add resistors to power supply sense lines in order to control connection points properly Done Closed
3 FPGA IO optimization for layout Done Closed
4 QDR2_BY0_1_K_P/N and QDR2_BY2_3_K_P/N require termination Corrected Closed
5 QVLD pins are outputs from QDR memory and should not be terminated - disagreement between data sheet and simulation model Samsung confirmed error in model Closed
6 DDR_CLKOUT and DDR_CLKOUT# not routed differentially Is OK Closed

Schematic Review Issues and Notes

Gerber Review March 4, 2008 @ BWRC (HC, JM, DW)

  • Strange connectivity in gerber view (ie., Z-DOK 3.3V pins)
  • Increase trace widths for Z-DOK power supply pins
  • Inconsistent thermal relief on ATX power connector pins
  • Recommend using ATX5V for some power regulation RESOLVED
    • Extend 5V_ATX island into regulators zone on 1V plane?
  • 12V input to U50 goes through thin neck; move C419 to bottom side?
  • Cape Town on Silkscreen 2 words DONE
  • Specify 10% tolerance for impedance control in readme DONE
  • Trace length matching wiggles too dense; too much crosstalk?
  • Move drill table legend outside board outline
  • High-speed signals going over plane splits
    • Add decoupling capacitors between planes or from each to ground?
