Does the ddr3 descrete components' command & address signals need termination resistors for c10?

I have design a board c5+descrete ddr3 component which command & address signals do not have termination resistors which run ok. I am not sure wheter C10 also ok for such design.

Hi,


The DDR3 discrete components' command & address signals are required the termination resistor.

In Cyclone 10, you can use the internal termination scheme such as on-chip termination (OCT) and on-die termination (ODT) instead of external termination resistor.


You can always refer to Cyclone 10 EMIF User Guide in the link below.

May I know whether you setup the OCT and ODT on your design Cyclone V with DDR3?


Thanks.

    Do you mean that by setting Cyclone10's OCT/ODT that need not external termination resistor?

      If yes, how to set the EMIF's parameters?
