Timing Parameters
The following timing parameters are from the RDRAMs
pins, not the RIMM. Please refer to the RDRAM datasheet
for detailed timing diagrams.

RCD
RAS-to-CAS Delay - the interval from ROWA packet with ACT com-
mand to COLC packet with RD or WR command). Note - the RAS-to-
CAS delay seen by the RDRAM core (t
RCD,CORE
) is equal to t
RCD,CORE
= 1 + t
RCD
because of differences in the row and column paths through
the RDRAM interface.
