This section provides PCB design guidelines for QDR-IV interfaces. Connections between the adaptive SoC and QDR-IV device(s) are defined, along with physical design rules and timing constraints.

Important: All routing guidelines in this section must be followed to achieve the maximum data rates specified in the Versal adaptive SoC data sheets. Customers could have unique or specific designs with particular violations of some rules. In these scenarios, design or routing trade-offs have to be taken in other routing parameters to mitigate the risk. System-level channel signal integrity simulations are required to evaluate such trade-offs. It is important to read Required Memory Routing Guidelines for All Interfaces before continuing with this section.
