Functional Description<br />

10.2.3 DRAM Clock Generation<br />

The (G)MCH generates three differential clock pairs for every supported DIMM. There are a total<br />

of 6 clock pairs driven directly by the (G)MCH to 2 DIMMs per channel.<br />

10.2.4 Suspend to RAM and Resume<br />

When entering the Suspend to RAM (STR) state, the SDRAM controller will flush pending cycles<br />

and then enter all SDRAM rows into self refresh. In STR, the CKE signals remain Low so the<br />

SDRAM devices will perform self-refresh.<br />

10.2.5 DDR2 On Die Termination<br />

On die termination (ODT) is a feature that allows a DRAM to turn on/off internal termination<br />

resistance for each SDQ_x, SDM_x, SDQS_x, and SDQS_x# signal for x8 and x16<br />

configurations via the SODT_x control signals. The SODT_x feature is designed to improve<br />

signal integrity of the memory channel by allowing the termination resistance for the SDQ_x,<br />

SDM_x, SDQS_x, and SDQS_x# signals to be located inside the DRAM devices themselves<br />

instead of on the motherboard. The (G)MCH drives out the required SODT_x signals, based on<br />

memory configuration and which rank is being written to or read from, to the DRAM devices on a<br />

targeted DIMM rank to enable or disable their termination resistance.<br />
