Schematics

  • DRAM interface use chip select signals in right order (CS0, then CS1, …)
  • DRAM interface calibration have right value / tolerance
  • DRAM reset signal is connected to RAM chips
  • DRAM voltage interface is compatible (1.35V / 1.5V)
  • VREF voltage dividers are using 100 Ohms/1% resistors and 100nF capacitor
  • VREF value is OK (usually half DRAM voltage)
  • Check that DQS/DQSn and DM signals are connected to corresponding Data DQ
  • Check that each ODT signal is connected to the right CS signal
  • Check that signals have termination resistors (M_Wen, M_RASn, M_CASn, M_CSn, M_ODT, M_A, M_BA, M_CKE[1:0])

Test points shall be added on following signals :

  • Shortest and longest DQ trace of each DQ group
  • Each DQS_P/DQS_N signal
  • WE#, CAS#, RAS#, CS# signals
  • Each CLK_P/CLK_N signal
