Su Ming,

The non-monotonic edges may or may not compromise you signal integrity; the
address lines, while not edge-sensitive, by itself do not do anything bad
'till the point where due to transitions into "grey zone" and back the setup
times are violated; same goes for control signals. YOu really have to see
where non-monotonic effets occur and how close they are to the point of the
minimum set-up time.

Mike.

Subject: [SI-LIST] : controller<=>memory non-monotonic issues

Dear SI gurus,

There are some issues concerning the controller<=>memory that some of you
may be able to help me with.
The design is a controller connected to two SO-DIMMs.
SO-DIMM1 is a 256MB and SO-DIMM2 is a 64MB. Clock is rated at 80 MHz and
max delay is 6ns.
According to our simulator, the are some non-monotonic on the address and
some of the control lines.
In your opinion, will the non-monotonic effects compromise the SI of the
board especially the control lines?

Thank you.

Regards,
SuMing TAI
