W255
200 MHz 24-Output Buffer for 4 DDR or 3 SDRAM DIMMS
Features
Functional Description
• One input to 24 output buffer/driver
• Supports up to 4 DDR DIMMs or 3 SDRAM DIMMS
• One additional output for feedback
• SMBus interface for individual output control
• Low skew outputs (< 100 ps)
• Supports 266-, 333-, and 400 MHz DDR SDRAM
• Dedicated pin for power management support
• Space-saving 48-pin SSOP package
The W255 is a 3.3V/2.5V buffer designed to distribute
high-speed clocks in PC applications. The part has 24 outputs.
Designers can configure these outputs to support four unbuffered DDR DIMMS or to support three unbuffered standard
SDRAM DIMMs and two DDR DIMMS. The W255 can be used
in conjunction with the W250 or similar clock synthesizer for
the VIA Pro 266 chipset.
The W255 also includes an SMBus interface which can enable
or disable each output clock. On power-up, all output clocks
are enabled (internal pull up).
