I trying to design a board using the reference design of ALTERA cyclone V, I found many DNI components (resistors and capacitor), what i have to do with this components?, opened circuit? 

In the LPDDR2 schematic there are singal CK and CK# (clocks) have a resistor DNI between them, besides in this schematic i saw DQ[0..31] (data port ) have connected the DQ[16..31] connected to ground by resistors DNI? 

 

thanks in advance

Hi Akael: 

 

DNI stands for Do Not Install: 

 

These components may have been placed on the schematic for many reasons. IE your DQ lines are probably because one version of the schematic only supported a 16 bit memory, while another supports the full 32 bit interface. 

 

The CK and CK# resistor is probably for termination. 

 

If you are confident you know what the resistor position is there, you can safely remove them from your schematic.
