1.1 Introduction
This design guide provides recommendations for system designs based on the JZ4780 processor.
Design issues (e.g., thermal considerations) should be addressed using specific design guides or
application notes for the processor.
The design guidelines in this document are used to ensure maximum flexibility for board designers
while reducing the risk of board related issues. The design information provided in this document
falls into two categories:
• Design Recommendations: It is based on INGENIC‟s simulations and lab experience to date
are strongly recommended, if not necessary, to meet the timing and signal quality
specifications.
• Design Considerations: Suggestions for platform design provide one way to meet the design
recommendations. Design considerations are based on the reference platforms designed by
INGENIC. They should be used as an example, but may not be applicable to particular
designs.
Note: In this manual, processor means the JZ4780 processor if not specified.
The guidelines recommended in this manual are based on experience and simulation work
completed by INGENIC while developing systems with JZ4780. This work is ongoing, and the
recommendations and considerations are subject to change.
Platform schematics can be obtained and are intended as a reference for board designers.
While the schematics may cover a specific design, the core schematics remain the same for
most platforms. The schematic set provides a reference schematic for each platform
component, and common system board options. Additional flexibility is possible through other
permutations of these options and components.
The document can help customer span doorstep, design product using existent software and
hardware resources. Your advice is the best encourage for us.

2 Platform Stack-Up and Placement
In this section, an example of a JZ4780 platform component placement and stack-up is presented
for a PMP product.
2.1 General Design Considerations
This section describes motherboard layout and routing guidelines for JZ4780 platforms. This section
does not describe the function of any bus, or the layout guidelines for an add-in device. If the
guidelines listed in this manual are not followed, it is very important that thorough signal integrity and
timing simulations are completed for each design. Even when the guidelines are followed, critical
signals are recommended to be simulated to ensure proper signal integrity and flight time. Any
deviation from the guidelines should be simulated.
The trace impedance typically noted (i.e., 50Ω ± 10%) is the nominal trace impedance for a 4-mil
wide trace. That is, the impedance of the trace when not subjected to the fields created by changing
current in neighboring traces. When calculating flight times, it is important to consider the minimum
and maximum impedance of a trace based on the switching of neighboring traces. Using wider
spaces between the traces can minimize this trace-to-trace coupling. In addition, these wider spaces
reduce settling time. Coupling between two traces is a function of the coupled length, the distance
separating the traces, the signal edge rate, and the degree of mutual capacitance and inductance.
To minimize the effects of trace-to-trace coupling, the routing guidelines documented in this section
should be followed. Additionally, these routing guidelines are created using a PCB stack-up similar
to that illustrated in Figure 2-1.
2.2 Nominal 6-Layer Board Stack-Up

Guidelines
3.1 Overview
The External NAND Memory Controller (NEMC) divides the off-chip memory space and outputs
control signals complying with specifications of various types of static memory and bus interfaces. It
enables the connection of static memory such as conventional NAND flash memory, Toggle NAND
flash memory, etc. to this processor.
This section is the design guidelines for the external memory interface.
The static memory controller provides a glueless interface to NOR Flash ,NAND Flash and Toggle
NAND flash. It supports 6 chips selection CS6~CS1 and each bank can be configured separately.
JZ4780 supports most types of NAND flashes, including SLC and MLC/TLC, 8-bit data access,
512B/2K/4K/8KB page size. It also support boot from NAND flash.

4.4 Layout Guideline
In the classical high-speed flow, to ensure the maximum performance of the DDR3, we should
observe the following guidelines. The questions we should be noticed are: Flight time delay and
skew, Signal integrity and impedance matching, Crosstalk, Power supply bypassing.
The basic recommendations are as follows:
The minimum Stack-up required four layer stack. There must have a ground layer to
separated two signal layers. Just as describes in Figure 2-3.
Signals should be routed based on the relative tightness of the skew budgets. In order of
priority:
1) The double data rate signals, DQ, DM, and DQS/DQS# should be routed first since
these have the strictest budgets, ¼of a clock period available for set up or hold relative
to the differential strobe.
2) Differential clock, CK/CK# and single data rate signals, Address/Command/Control.
These have looser budgets with ½of a clock period for set up and hold.
3) If read and write leveling techniques are not used, make sure that the rising edges of all
differential DQS/DQS# signals are within ¼of a clock period of the rising edge of the
differential clock, CK/CK#.
4) Route all Vref and support signals (JTAG etc. if implemented)

The fundamental high-speed PCB issues are flight time delay and skew. Controlling the
maximum placement of components. All of the shorter nets in a clock domain must be
match the longest one. Therefore, flight time delay and skew are controlled by the matching
of the trace.
Assumptions are 151 ps./inch for top layer microstrip (air in cross section) and 179 ps./inch
for stripline or embedded microstrip (no air in cross section). The below table is the
recommended budgets.
Table 4-1 The Recommended Budgets
Signal integrity refers to controlling overshoot, ring back, and transition edges. These issues
are caused by the mismatch of impedance. Trace impedance is governed by the trace width
as well as the thickness and dielectric constant of the PCB insulating materials (usually
FR-4). So you should keep the impedance average in a trace, be sure the bending and via
as little as possible.
When the signal has a via in it‟s trace, there must be a GND via beside the signal via.
Crosstalk is fundamentally controlled by the PCB stack-up and minimum trace spacing. The
best approach to avoiding a crosstalk problem is to ensure all the signals have high-quality
signal return paths and to spread the signal out.
oEach signal layer should have a nearby full ground plane to provide the shortest
return current path. In order to maintain consistent characteristic impedance, it is
important that the traces be routed over solid ground planes(Figure 4-3) not
separate (Figure 4-4). A high speed signal trace should never be routed across a
plane split. This will interrupt the return currents that flow beneath the conductor
and can lead to crosstalk with neighboring traces. This will also increase emissions
from the board.

Figure 4-4 GND is seperate
oEach bus (D0~D8, DQS0/DQS0_N and DQM0 compose one bus, and etc.) should
not cross other buses.If routing is carried out on two layers, byte lanes should be
alternated between layers in order to reduce congestion, and crosstalk at the
DRAMs; e.g. Byte lanes 0 and 2 should be routed on one layer, and 1 and 3 on the
other.
oThe crosstalk and characteristic impedance of an array of traces are interrelated. In
order to minimize crosstalk, the characteristic impedance of a trace should be
determined predominantly by the distance to the reference plane and not the
distance to the neighboring traces. To achieve this, the space between traces
should be twice the height of the trace above the ground plane. Figure4-5 show the
recommended spacing (“H”means the height from reference plane.).
Figure 4-5 Spacing between Different Signal Groups
Precise power supply bypassing is important for high-speed PCB. Control the power supply
high-frequency impedance means controlling power supply inductance. Power supply
high-frequency impedance is beaten down by many small capacitors connected between
the power and ground plane. Using many capacitors, rather than a large one, will reduce
the inductance. The inductance of a capacitor is dependent on its size. The capacitor
