PRODUCTION DATA.
The region of the PCB used for DDR3 circuitry must be isolated from other signals. The DDR3 keepout region is defined for this purpose and is shown in Figure 5-55. This region should encompass all DDR3 circuitry and the region size varies with component placement and DDR3 routing. Additional clearances required for the keepout region are shown in Table 5-52. Non-DDR3 signals should not be routed on the same signal layer as DDR3 signals within the DDR3 keepout region. Non-DDR3 signals may be routed in the region provided they are routed on layers separated from DDR3 signal layers by a ground layer. No breaks should be allowed in the reference ground or VDDS_DDR power plane in this region. In addition, the VDDS_DDR power plane should cover the entire keepout region.
