DDR termination voltage

I read on termination topics and they say that having Vtt equal to the
high-to-low transition level is a bad idea (tristated buses will
noise-switch all the readers and, thus, consume unnecessary power). Yet,
JEDEC prescribes using 1.25 Vtt for DDR, based on 2.5 volt SSTL_2
signaling. Why?

Minimum terminator power? P=V^2/R

consume more to save more!

Huh? With the terminator in the middle, you save half the power (twice as
many lines, on average, 1/4 power each). The I/O obviously can't have an
issue being "hung up" in the middle.

http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~greenwd/xmsnLine_notes.pdf explains the "issue":

"For three-state buses, the Théven in equivalent voltage, VThev, may be
chosen to yield a valid logic level when the bus is not being driven. It
is especi ally important in this case to choose a voltage that is not
close to the switching threshold of the receivers, lest they draw
excessive current or oscillate."

....or are disabled when in the tristate condition. You know more than the
memory (bus) developers?

BTW, if you know everything, why are you here?

Only those who do not understand experts ask questions. Those, who ask
to explain the reason behind expert decisions, should not ask the questions.

Have you ever gone outside and played "hide and go **** yourself?"

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

And the most important thing anyone can learn in life is to question
authority.

Hope This Helps!

It seems that giving answers to asked questions I make people crazy.

You asked the question, moron. If you think you know everything (you know
nothing), asking a question and arguing that your answer is correct (it's not)
is moronic.

Now, go away.

Those, who ask to explain the reason behind expert decisions,
What a loon.

Stupid thing? But, this is what you taught me. BTW, next time you hear
anybody asking a question, do not tell him that he knows everything.
Only morons and loons may come to such conclusion.

You bet! The .est.
But, this is what you taught me.

Blame your parents for stupid. I wasn't there.
BTW, next time you hear anybody asking a question,
do not tell him that he knows everything.

Now you're telling me what I must do? That stupid streak runs deep.

You think you do. That's the point. Why you asked the question, in the first
place, will never be known to the sane.
Only morons and loons may come to such conclusion.

No, only a moron asks a question then argues the answer like they know-it-all.
Indeed, you are both.

On the flipside, those who refuse to explain their conclusions are not
experts.

I pointed your attention to the "issue" that my question is about. You
started to attack me because of that. You punish people just because
they ask a question.

You're being "punished" because you're acting like an arrogant little
trolling asshole.

If you dare to ask you question in this group, you act like a trolling
arrogant assole. Thank you for reminding me this.

I do not think that I must be happy or shut up and get away after the
first response. The first response provided at important aspect. But, it
completely disregards the aspect I wanted to be clarified. It is normal
to ask people to take the OP-requested aspect into consideration and,
BTW, explain what I mean by "draw more power to save power" to the first
replier.

I'm asking here because I do not see a special group on memory/source
synchronous topics. If there is something wrong with this way of acting
then why I should try creating another thread (in another place?)?
