DDLL System Architecture. DDLL System Architecture and Gear Ratio Logic Figure 1 shows the Distributed Delay Lock Loop (DDLL) system architecture, including the main system clock source, the Direct Rambus clock generator (DRCG), and the core logic that contains the Rambus Access Cell (RAC), the Rambus Memory Controller (RMC), and the Gear Ratio Logic. (This diagram abstractly represents the differential clocks as a single Busclk wire.) The purpose of the DDLL is to frequency-lock and phase-align the core logic and Rambus clocks (PCLK and SYNCLK) at the RMC/RAC boundary in order to allow data transfers without incurring additional latency. In the DDLL architecture, a PLL is used to generate the desired Busclk frequency, while a distributed loop forms a DLL to align the phase of Pclk and Synclk at the RMC/RAC boundary. The main clock source drives the system clock (Pclk) to the core logic, and also drives the reference clock (Refclk) to the DRCG. For typical Intel architecture platforms, Refclk will be half the CPU front side bus frequency. A PLL inside the DRCG multiplies Refclk to generate the desired frequency for Busclk, and Busclk is driven through a terminated transmission line (Rambus Channel). At the mid-point of the channel, the RAC senses Busclk using its own DLL for clock alignment, followed by a fixed divide-by-4 that generates Synclk. Pclk is the clock used in the memory controller (RMC) in the core logic, and Synclk is the clock used at the core logic inter- face of the RAC. The DDLL together with the Gear Ratio Logic enables users to exchange data directly from the Pclk domain to the Synclk domain without incurring additional latency for synchronization. In general, Pclk and Synclk can be of different frequencies, so the Gear Ratio Logic must select the appropriate M and N dividers such that the frequencies of Pclk/M and Synclk/N are equal. In one interesting example, Pclk=133 MHz, Synclk=100 MHz, and M=4 while N=3, giving Pclk/M=Synclk/N=33 MHz. This example of the clock waveforms with the Gear Ratio Logic is shown in Figure 2. The output clocks from the Gear Ratio Logic, Pclk/M, and Synclk/N, are output from the core logic and routed to the DRCG Phase Detector (φD) inputs. The routing of Pclk/M and Synclk/N must be matched in the core logic as well as on the board. After comparing the phase of Pclk/M vs. Synclk/N, the DRCG Phase Detector (φD) drives a phase aligner that adjusts the phase of the DRCG output clock, Busclk. Since everything else in the distributed loop is fixed delay, adjusting Busclk adjusts the phase of Synclk and thus the phase of Synclk/N. In this manner the distributed loop adjusts the phase of Synclk/N to match that of Pclk/M, nulling the phase error at the input of the DRCG Phase Detector (φD). When the clocks are aligned, data can be exchanged directly from the Pclk domain to the Synclk domain. Pclk Synclk Pclk/M = Synclk/N Figure 2. Gear Ratio Timing Diagram.

DDLL Including Details of DRCG. Phase Detector Signals The DRCG Phase Detector (φD) receives two inputs from the core logic, PCLKM (Pclk/M) and SYNCLKN (Synclk/N). The M and N dividers in the core logic are chosen so that the frequencies of PCLKM and SYNCLKN are identical. The Phase Detector (φD) detects the phase difference between the two input clocks, and drives the DRCG Phase Aligner to null the input phase error through the distributed loop. When the loop is locked, the input phase error between PCLKM and SYNCLKN is within the specification tERR,PD given in Table 13 after the lock time given in the State Transition Section. The Phase Detector (φD) aligns the rising edge of PCLKM to the rising edge of SYNCLKN. The duty cycle of the phase detector input clocks will be within the specification DCIN,PD given in Table 12. Because the duty cycles of the two phase detector input clocks will not necessarily be identical, the falling edges of PCLKM and SYNCLKN may not be aligned when the rising edges are aligned. The voltage levels of the PCLKM and SYNCLKN signals are determined by the controller. The pin VDDIPD is used as the voltage reference for the phase detector inputs and should be connected to the output voltage supply of the controller. In some applications, the DRCG PLL output clock will be used directly, by bypassing the Phase Aligner. If PCLKM and SYNCLKN are not used, those inputs must be grounded. Selection Logic Table 1 shows the logic for selecting the PLL prescaler and feedback dividers to determine the multiply ratio for the PLL from the input Refclk. Divider A sets the feedback and divider B sets the prescaler, so the PLL output clock frequency is set by: PLLClk=Refclk*A/B. Document #: 38-07232 Rev. *B Table 1.

When STOP# is HIGH, the DRCG is in its normal mode, and CLK and CLK# are complementary outputs following the Phase Aligner output (PAclk). When STOP# is LOW, the DRCG is in the Clk Stop mode, the output clock drivers are disabled (set to Hi-Z), and the CLK and CLK# settle to the DC voltage VX,STOP as given in Table 13. The level of VX,STOP is set by an external resistor network. Table 2. Clk Stop Mode Selection Mode STOP# CLK CLK# Normal 1 PACLK PACLK# Clk Stop 0 VX,STOP VX,STOP Table 3 shows the logic for selecting the Bypass and Test modes. The select bits, S0, S1, and S2 control the selection of these modes. The Bypass mode brings out the full-speed PLL output clock, bypassing the Phase Aligner. The Test mode brings the REFCLK input all the way to the output, bypassing both the PLL and the Phase Aligner. In the Output Test mode (OE), both the CLK and CLK# outputs are put into a highimpedance state (Hi-Z). This can be used for component testing and for board-level testing.

CLK CLK# Upon powering up the device, the device can enter any state, depending on the settings of the control signals, PWR_DWN# and STOP#. In Power-Down mode, the clock source is powered down with the control signal, PWR_DWN#, equal to 0. The control signals S0, S1 and S2 must be stable before power is applied to the device, and can only be changed in Power-Down mode (PWR_DWN#=0). The reference inputs, VDDIR and VDDIPD, may remain on or may be grounded during the Power-Down mode. Table 4 shows the logic for selecting the Power-Down mode, using the PWR_DWN# input signal. PWR_DWN# is active LOW (enabled when 0). When PWR_DWN# is disabled, the DRCG is in its normal mode. When PWR_DWN# is enabled, the DRCG is put into a powered-off state, and the CLK and CLK# outputs are three-stated. The control signals MULT0, MULT1, and MULT2 can be used in two ways. If they are changed during Power-Down mode, then the Power-Down transition timings determine the settling time of the DRCG. However, the MULT0, MULT1, and MULT2 control signals can also be changed during Normal mode. When the MULT control signals are “hot swapped” in this manner, the MULT transition timings determine the settling time of the DRCG. Table 4.
