Inconsistencies between SPD data and datasheets. #184

Open enjoy-digital opened 4 years ago

enjoy-digital commented 4 years ago

From https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litedram/pull/181:

For some modules there seems to be inconsistencies between tRCD and tRP values in the SPD data, in the SO-DIMM module datasheet and in the datasheet of the chip used in the module. The values from SPD data were used when existing for the given module.

@jedrzejboczar: Can you provide a module where you saw an inconsistency?

jedrzejboczar commented 4 years ago

When looking for tRCD, tRP and tRC for our modules both SPD data and values in the module datasheet are the same, but it seems to me that those values differ from what is written in the datasheets of the actual chips used in the modules. Or maybe I am interpreting the datasheets incorrectly. Anyway it is probably the most reasonable to use what is in SPD and module datasheet.

Below I've written down the values extracted from the datasheets. The relevant datasheets are attached in datasheets.zip.

MT8JTF12864 (1333):
* module datasheet: 
    * tRCD, tRP, tRC: 13.125, 13.125, 49.125
* chip datasheet: MT41J128M8, 1333, 9-9-9
    * Table 52.
        * tRCD, tRP, tRC: 13.5, 13.5, 49.5
* spd data:
    * tRCD, tRP, tRC: 13.125, 13.125, 49.125

Here, the chip datasheet specifies 13.5. The value of 13.125 is specified only for 7-7-7, but then tRC would be 50.625.

The following modules all use the same chip MT41K512M8 and there is also a mismatch between chip datasheet and module/SPD.
