12.3.3 Single-ended Requirements for Differential Signals
Each individual component of a differential signal (CK, DQS, CK, DQS) has also to comply with certain requirements for single-ended signals.
CK and CK have to approximately reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately equal to the ac-levels ( VIH(AC) / VIL(AC) ) for ADD/CMD signals) in every
half-cycle.
DQS, DQS have to reach VSEHmin / VSELmax (approximately the ac-levels ( VIH(AC) / VIL(AC) ) for DQ signals) in every half-cycle proceeding and follow-
ing a valid transition.
Note that the applicable ac-levels for ADD/CMD and DQ’s might be different per speed-bin etc. E.g. if VIH150(AC)/VIL150(AC) is used for ADD/CMD
signals, then these ac-levels apply also for the single-ended signals CK and CK .

time
Note that while ADD/CMD and DQ signal requirements are with respect to VREF, the single-ended components of differential signals have a requirement
with respect to VDD/2; this is nominally the same. The transition of single-ended signals through the ac-levels is used to measure setup time. For single-
ended components of differential signals the requirement to reach VSELmax, VSEHmin has no bearing on timing, but adds a restriction on the common
mode characteristics of these signals.

NOTE :
1. For CK, CK use VIH/VIL(AC) of ADD/CMD; for strobes (DQS, DQS) use VIH/VIL(AC) of DQs.
2. VIH(AC)/VIL(AC) for DQs is based on VREFDQ; VIH(AC)/VIL(AC) for ADD/CMD is based on VREFCA; if a reduced ac-high or ac-low level is used for a signal group, then the
reduced level applies also here
3. These values are not defined, however the single-ended signals CK, CK, DQS, DQS need to be within the respective limits (VIH(DC) max, VIL(DC)min) for single-ended sig-
nals as well as the limitations for overshoot and undershoot. Refer to "Overshoot and Undershoot Specification"
