DDR Analysis With vs Without ODT

I. DDR Analysis without ODT

Note:

 Frequency = 800 MHz

 Unit Interval = 0.625ns [half of time period]
 Rise time = 125ps [20% of Unit Interval]
 Fall time = 125ps [20% of Unit Interval]
 U2A5: Controller IC [Driver]
 U1B5: DDR Memory IC [Receiver]
 S-Parameter Generated Frequency = 4GHz [5th Harmonic of 800 MHz]
