Texas Instruments has released the industry's first DDR-II phase locked loop for registered memory modules that supports datarates up to 800Mbyte/s.

Texas Instruments has released the industry's first DDR-II phase locked loop (PLL) for registered memory modules that supports datarates up to 800Mbyte/s Supporting the industry's highest frequency, the high-performance, low-skew, low-jitter, zero-delay buffer gives designers wider timing margins necessary in designing high speed DDR memory modules found in applications such as PCs, servers, workstations and communications

The CDCU877 DDR-II PLL is fully compliant with the JEDEC DDR-II standard and distributes a differential-clock input pair to 10 differential pairs of clock outputs and one differential pair feedback-clock output differential pair.

Combined with the SN74SSTU32864 DDR-II logic register, this device provides a total chipset solution and facilitates easier part sourcing for DDR-II memory modules.

The SN74SSTU32864 can be configured as a 25bit 1:1 pinout configuration or a 14bit 1:2 pinout, allowing users to work with a single part number for multiple DIMM configurations.

Output edge-control circuitry is used in the device to minimise switching noise in unterminated lines, improving signal integrity.

The device also supports the DDR-II low power, minimising switching noise into the SDRAM inputs on the DIMM, improving signal integrity and lowering system power consumption.

The CDCU877 is available today and comes in a 52-ball MicroStar Junior BGA and 40-pin MLF package.

Planned pricing for the CDCU877 is $3.50 per device in quantities of 1000.
