The internal data bus clock frequency and DDR2 bus clock frequency directly affect the maximum
throughput of the DDR2 bus. The clock frequency of the DDR2 bus is equal to the CLKIN2 frequency
multiplied by 10. The internal data bus clock frequency of the DDR2 Memory Controller is fixed at a
divide-by-three ratio of the CPU frequency. The maximum DDR2 throughput is determined by the smaller
of the two bus frequencies. For example, if the internal data bus frequency is 333 MHz (CPU frequency is
1 GHz) and the DDR2 bus frequency is 267 MHz (CLKIN2 frequency is 26.7 MHz), the maximum data
rate achievable by the DDR2 memory controller is 2.1 Gbytes/sec. The DDR2 bus is designed to sustain a
maximum throughput of up to 2.1 Gbytes/sec at a 533-MHz data rate (267-MHz clock rate), as long as
data requests are pending in the DDR2 Memory Controller.
