11. CK/
CK
slew rates are
≥
1.0V/ns.
12. These parameters guarantee device timing, but they are not necessarily tested on each device, and they may be
guaranteed by design or tester characterization.
13. For each of the terms in parentheses, if not already an integer, round to the next highest integer. t
CK
is equal to the actual
system clock cycle time. For example, for DDR266B at CL = 2.5, t
DAL
= (15ns/7.5ns) + (20ns/7.5ns) = 2 + 3 = 5.
14. An input setup and hold time derating table is used to increase t
IS
and t
IH
in the case where the input slew rate is below 0.5
V/ns.

IH (AC)
to V
IL (AC)
or V
IH (DC)
to V
IL (DC)
, similarly for rising
transitions.
2. Input slew rate is based on the larger of AC to AC delta rise, fall rate and DC to DC delta rise, fall rate.
3. The delta rise, fall rate is calculated as: [1/(slew rate 1)] - [1/(slew rate 2)]
For example: slew rate 1 = 0.5 V/ns; slew rate 2 = 0.4 V/ns
Delta rise, fall = (1/0.5) - (1/0.4) [ns/V]
= -0.5 ns/V
Using the table above, this would result in an increase in t
DS
and t
DH
of 100 ps.
