The data bus on the DDR SDRAM has a low voltage swing
when actively terminated (terminated topology). The termi-
nated topology supports higher data transfer rates and is
less constrained, but it consumes more power. Many
designs should be able to operate reliably without active
termination (unterminated topology). The design con-
straints are smaller memory subsystems and tight control
on routing. See the application note, AMD Geode™ LX
Processor and CS5535/CS5536 Companion Device Layout
Recommendations
(publication ID #32739), for more infor-
mation.

When series termination resistors are used, as specified in
the AMD Geode™ LX Processor and CS5535/CS5536
Companion Device Layout Recommendations
, the actual
power provided by the V

MEMLX

supply is split between the

processor and the series and parallel termination (see Fig-
ure 7-1). The
refore, it is impossible to specify the power
used by the processor’s memory subsystem with one hun-
dred percent accuracy. A conservative estimate, is that
32.5% of the power is consumed by the processor and

67.5% by the termination resistors. See the AMD Geode™
LX Processor Determining Memory Interface I/O Power
Consumption
document (publication ID #40554) for the
detailed analysis. This number is used for the results in DC
Current tables (Tables 7-3, 7-4, and 7-5).

Note 3

Note 1. The AMD Geode LX [email protected] processor operates at 600 MHz. Model numbers reflect performance as described

here:

http://www.amd.com/connectivitysolutions/geodelxbenchmark

.

T = Terminated and U = Unterminated.

Note 2. Calculations are based on a 32.5/67.5 split between V

MEMLX

used by the AMD Geode LX processor and series

termination resistors. See Section 7.4.3 on page 599 for more details.

Note 3. V
