ICSSSTU32866
Advance Information
0850--08/27/03
General Description
This 25-bit 1:1 or 14-bit 1:2 configurable registered buffer is designed for 1.7-V to 1.9-V VDD operation.
All clock and data inputs are compatible with the JEDEC standard for SSTL_18. The control inputs are LVCMOS. All
outputs are 1.8-V CMOS drivers that have been optimized to drive the DDR-II DIMM load. ICSSSTU32866 operates
from a differential clock (CK and CK#). Data are registered at the crossing of CK going high, and CK# going low.
The C0 input controls the pinout configuration of the 1:2 pinout from A configuration (when low) to B configuration (when
high). The C1 input controls the pinout configuration from 25-bit 1:1 (when low) to 14-bit 1:2 (when high).
A - Pair Configuration (CO
1
= 0, CI
1
= 1 and CO
2
= 0, CI
2
= 1)
Parity that arrives one cycle after the data input to which it applies is checked on the PAR_IN of the first register. The
second register produces to PPO and QERR# signals. The QERR# of the first register is left floating. The valid error
information is latched on the QERR# output of the second register. If an error occurs QERR# is latched low for two
cycles or until Reset# is low.
B - Single Configuration (CO = 0, C1 = 0)
The device supports low-power standby operation. When the reset input (RST#) is low, the differential input receivers
are disabled, and undriven (floating) data, clock and reference voltage (VREF) inputs are allowed. In addition, when
RST# is low all registers are reset, and all outputs are forced low. The LVCMOS RST# and Cn inputs must always be
held at a valid logic high or low level. To ensure defined outputs from the register before a stable clock has been supplied,
RST# must be held in the low state during power up.
In the DDR-II RDIMM application, RST# is specified to be completely asynchronous with respect to CK and CK#.
Therefore, no timing relationship can be guaranteed between the two. When entering reset, the register will be cleared
and the outputs will be driven low quickly, relative to the time to disable the differential input receivers. However, when
coming out of reset, the register will become active quickly, relative to the time to enable the differential input receivers.
As long as the data inputs are low, and the clock is stable during the time from the low-to-high transition of RST# until
the input receivers are fully enabled, the design of the ICSSSTU32866 must ensure that the outputs will remain low,
thus ensuring no glitches on the output.
The device monitors both DCS# and CSR# inputs and will gate the Qn outputs from changing states when both DCS#
and CSR# inputs are high. If either DCS# or CSR# input is low, the Qn outputs will function normally. The RST input
has priority over the DCS# and CSR# control and will force the outputs low. If the DCS#-control functionality is not
desired, then the CSR# input can be hardwired to ground, in which case, the setup-time requirement for DCS# would
be the same as for the other D data inputs. Package options include 96-ball LFBGA (MO-205CC).

3. PAR_IN arrives two clock cycles after the data to which it applies when CO = 1.

4. Assume QERR# is high at the CK
and CK#
crossing. If QERR# is low it stays latched low for two
clock cycles on until Reset# is low.
1. CO = 0 and CI = 0, Data inputs are D2, D3, D5, D6, D8 - D25.
CO = 0 and CI = 1, Data inputs are D2, D3, D5, D6, D8 - D14
CO = 1 and CI = I, Data inputs are D1 - D6, D8 - D10, D12, D13
2. PAR_IN arrives one clock cycle after the data to which it applies when CO = 0.
