About the Ddr5-testbed PCB
Ddr5-testbed is an open source PCB design by antmicro, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 6-layer board measuring 69.6 × 30 mm, with 60 components from 16 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the PCA6408APW, AT24CS01-ST, MT60B2G8HB-48B:A and TPS613221ADBVT. By type, the board carries 27 capacitors, 18 resistors, 4 ICs, 4 diodes, 4 inductors and 3 test points.
From the project
Experimental test bed for interfacing with Micron MT60B2G8HB DDR5 ICs
This project contains open hardware design files for an experimental test module in the mechanical form factor of SO-DIMM. The module includes a single DDR5 RAM IC with all signals break-routed in the SO-DIMM edge connector. The board has been designed to target Micron MT60B2G8HB-48B:A 16Gb DRAM. The design files were prepared in KiCad 9.x. Please note that this board is not electrically compatible with off-the-shelf SO-DIMM DDR memory modules. It is compatible with this experimental testing platform.
