4.3.1

Memory Interface

The memory bus is 64-bit wide with ECC protection. It connects the P2020 QorIQ Integrated
Processor directly to the DIMM memory sockets. The memory data bus runs at a maximum
frequency of 400 MHz providing a total bandwidth of 6.4 Gbyte/s.

4.3.2

Memory Sockets

Two 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets are provided on the ATCA-F125 to host up to 2 Gbyte of
memory on each DIMM socket using single or dual rank DDR3 registered DIMM memory
modules.

4.3.3

Memory Modules

The ATCA-7470 requires very low profile VLP DDR3 DIMM modules in order to fit within the
maximum component height profile of an ATCA blade. The ATCA-F125 board has been tested
and qualified to operate with a 2GB DDR3 VLP RDIMM from Smart Modular. The operating
system is currently limited to 2GB of DDR3 memory
