Description
PI6CU877 is a PLL clock driver family, consisting of PI6CU877,
and PI6CUA877, developed for Registered DDR2 DIMM
applications with 1.8V operation and differential clock input and
output levels.
The device is a zero delay buffer that distributes a differential
clock input pair (CLK, CLK) to eleven differential pairs of clock
outputs which includes feedback clock (Y[0:9], Y[0:9]; FBOUT,
The clock outputs are controlled by CLK/CLK, FBOUT, FBOUT, the
LVCMOS inputs (OE, OS) and the Analog Power input (AV
DD
).
When OE is LOW the outputs except FBOUT, FBOUT, are disabled
while the internal PLL continues to maintain its locked-in frequency.
OS is a pin that must be tied to GND or V
DD.
When OS is high, OE
will function as described above. When OS is LOW, OE has no
effect on Y7/Y7, they are free running. When AV
DD
is grounded,
the PLL is turned off and bypassed for test purposes.
When CLK/CLK are logic low, the device will enter a low power
mode. An input logic detection circuit will detect the logic low level
and perform a low power state where all Y[0:9], Y[0:9]; FBOUT,
FBOUT, and PLL are OFF.
PI6CUx877 is a high-performance, low skew, and low jitter PLL
clock driver, and it is also able to track Spread Spectrum Clocking
(SSC) for reduced EMI.
Features
PLL clock distribution optimized for DDR2-667/533/400
SDRAM applications.
Distributes one differential clock input pair to eleven differ-
ential clock output pairs.
Differential Inputs (CLK, CLK) and (FBIN, FBIN)
Input OE/OS: LVCMOS
Differential Outputs (Y[0:9], Y[0:9] and (FBOUT, FBOUT)
External feedback pins (FBIN, FBIN) are used to
synchronize the outputs to the clock input.
Operates at AV

Stabilization time is the time required for the integrated PLL circuit to obtain phase lock of its feedback signal to its reference signal after power
up . During normal operation, the stabilization time is also the time required for the integrated PLL circuit to obtain phase lock of its feedback
signal to its reference signal when CK and CK go to a logic low state, enter the power-down mode and later return to active operation. CK and
CK maybe left  oating after they have been driven low for one complete clock cycle.

Notes:
1.
The PLL is able to handle spread spectrum induced skew.
2.
Operating clock frequency indicates a range over which the PLL is able to lock, but in which it is not required to meet the other timing parameters.
(Used for low-speed debug or production testing of DIMM modules).
3.
Application clock frequency indicates a range over which the PLL must meet all timing parameters.

14.
To eliminate the impact of input slew rates on static phase offset, the input slew rates of Reference Clock Input CK, CK and Feedback Clock
Input FBIN, FBIN are recommended to be nearly equal. The 2.5V/ns slew rates are shown as a recommended target. Compliance with these
nominal values is not mandatory if it can be adequately demonstrated that alternative characteristics meet the requirements of the registered
DDR2 DIMM application.
15.
There are two terminations that are used with the above ac tests. The load/board in Figure 2 is used to measure the input and output differen-
tial-pair cross-voltage only. The load/board in Figure 3 is used to measure all other tests. For con sis ten cy, equal length cables should be used.
16.
The Output slew rate is determined from IBIS model load shown in Figure1. It is measured single-ended.
