DDR5: common questions

Where can I find a DDR5 reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the DDR5. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

How big is a typical board using the DDR5?

The median is 133.4 × 20.1 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the DDR5?

By GitHub stars, Fault injection interposer by refault-artifacts, with 8 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the DDR5 before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
