Can you please tell me how to connect two DDR3L chips of 256MByte density and a 16bit wide data bus to a i.MX6 ULL processor?

Hi Igor,

thanks for your answer. I have these design files but I am still not sure how to connect two DDR3L chips to the i.MX6 ULL. In the schematic the schematic I can only find one chip connected to the i.MX6 ULL with the option to connect a twin- die DDR3L to the i.MX6 ULL.

Can I connect two chips instead of one twin-die chip just using the signals ODT1,SDCKE1, ZQ1 and CS1?

I am a little bit confused because in the Reference Manual for the i.MX 6ULL processor on page 2218 I found this Note:

NOTE
This feature will not be supported for DDR3 since only a single
chip select is supported for DDR3

Can you explain this to me?

Best regards

Michael

Hello Igor,

thanks for your answer,

I have one more question.

On page 2276 of the reference manual I can find the information that

address mirroring will only work for DDR2/DDR3 memories and not for

DDR2L/DDR3L. Is this right?
