AI Thread Summary
When using pull-up resistors for DDR2 signals, it's important to consider power consumption and the resistor size, with 0402 being a common choice. The impedance matching of tracks connecting resistors to VTT and signals is crucial, and maintaining consistent lengths is recommended to avoid issues. Observing existing PC mainboards can provide guidance on resistor sizing and layout. The presence of "wiggly" lines on these boards is indicative of length adjustments for signal integrity, though their relationship to pull-ups is unclear. Overall, careful attention to resistor specifications and track design is essential for optimal DDR2 performance.

When pulling up DDR2 signals with resistors, how to decide the power consumption of them, or I can just use 0402 resistors? And for the tracks connecting the resistors to the VTT (or the resistors to the signals), is there a impedance matching problem? Should them be of the same length?

Take a look at a PC mainboard that uses DDR2. The pull-ups are easy to find. Just use the same size as that manufacturer uses. Yes from what I understand length is critical. Again take a look at a PC mainboard, you will see many "wiggly" lines that adjust the lengths. I don't know about impedances though.
 
I thought the wiggly lines are such signals like data and address, but not pull-ups...
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
