DESCRIPTION

This 28-bit 1:2 configurable registered buffer is designed for 1.7-V to 1.9-V VCC operation. One device per DIMM

is required to drive up to 18 SDRAM loads or two devices per DIMM are required to drive up to 36 SDRAM

loads.

All inputs are SSTL_18, except the chip-select gate-enable (CSGEN), control (C), and reset (RESET) inputs,

which are LVCMOS. All outputs are edge-controlled circuits optimized for unterminated DIMM loads, and meet

SSTL_18 specifications, except the open-drain error (QERR) output.

The 74SSTUB32868 operates from a differential clock (CLK and CLK). Data are registered at the crossing of

CLK going high and CLK going low.

The 74SSTUB32868 accepts a parity bit from the memory controller on the parity bit (PAR_IN) input, compares it

with the data received on the DIMM-independent D-inputs (D1−D5, D7, D9−D12, D17−D28 when C = 0; or

D1−D12, D17−D20, D22, D24−D28 when C = 1) and indicates whether a parity error has occurred on the

open-drain QERR pin (active low). The convention is even parity, i.e., valid parity is defined as an even number

of ones across the DIMM-independent data inputs combined with the parity input bit. To calculate parity, all

DIMM-independent D-inputs must be tied to a known logic state.

The 74SSTUB32868 includes a parity checking function. Parity, which arrives one cycle after the data input to

which it applies, is checked on the PAR_IN input of the device. Two clock cycles after the data are registered,

the corresponding QERR signal is generated.
