In a traditional DDR2 design, a balanced T style topology is typically recommended (if not required) for address and control lines (depending on the number of SDRAMs used). This is generally recommended to balance any delays to each SDRAM device. The general concept of a balanced line topology is not used in DDR3 implementations in favor of fly-by topology, which better accommodates the higher-performance SDRAMs.
Figure 3-1 shows the general concept of the balanced line topology found in a typical DDR2 design.
