SSTL Description

SSTL [Stub Series Terminated Logic] is an electrical interface commonly used with DDR [Double Data Rate] DRAM memory ICs and memory modules. There are a number of standards that define SSTL levels for ICs and or memory module, a few are listed below under the standards section; however there may be revisions or addendums not listed. There are currently three main types of SSTL signally standards. These include the switching levels for SSTL_3, SSTL_2, and SSTL_18, which are each defined by a different JEDEC document number.

SSTL Electrical Levels

SSTL_18 Series Stub Terminated, used with DDR II memory; requires Vddq = 1.8v, Vt = 0.5 x Vddq

SSTL_2 Series Stub Terminated, used with DDR I memory; requires Vddq = 2.5v, Vt = 0.5 x Vddq
SSTL_2 interconnects require a 25 ohm series resistor at the source and a 50 ohm termination resistor at the destination pulled to Vtt [assuming a 50 ohm class I system]. Set the termination resistor to 25 ohms in a class II to system [class II uses 16.2mA, class I use 8.1mA]. Bi-Directional signals require the 50 termination resistor at the source in additional to the series termination resistor. SSTL-2 is defined by the JESD8-9 specification.

DDR DIMM SSTL2 Voltage Levels

SSTL_3 Series Stub Terminated, used with DDR memory; requires Vddq = 3.3v, Vt = 0.5 x Vddq

The following classes are defined by standard JESD8-6 from JEDEC:
Class I (unterminated, or symmetrically parallel terminated)
Class II (series terminated)
Class III (asymmetrically parallel terminated)
Class IV (asymmetrically double parallel terminated)
