0 Replies and 3507 Views Article: iMX31 -- Why No DDR Memory Series Resistors?  3507  0 Started by  Deleted User Q: Why are there no series resistors on all of the signals to the DDR memory on the iMX31 LITEKIT A: The i.MX31 LITEKIT excludes the series resistors on the DDR interface for these reasons: • Freescale testing on the IMX31 ADS kit found that series resistors provided little to no signal integrity improvement on DDR lines. • Low power (mobile) DDR has drive strength control on chip. • i.MX31 CPU has some drive strength control on DDR lines. • All EMC compliance testing passed without series re...

0 Replies and 2738 Views Article: iMX31 -- ESD Protection on the SOM  2738  0 Started by  Deleted User Q: Does the SOM have ESD protection A: No, the SOM does not have ESD protection. The reason for this is that the SOM was designed to be adaptable to many different applications, which makes it impractical to design in ESD protection. The SOM does not provide any ESD protection circuitry on the board and must be provided by the product it is used in. Logic PD has extensive experience in designing products with ESD requirements.
