W256
12 Output Buffer for 2 DDR and 3 SRAM DIMMS
Features
• One input to 12 output buffer/drivers
• Supports up to 2 DDR DIMMs or 3 SDRAM DIMMS
• One additional output for feedback
• SMBus interface for individual output control
• Low skew outputs (< 100 ps)
• Supports 266 MHz and 333 MHz DDR SDRAM
• Dedicated pin for power management support
• Space-saving 28-pin SSOP package
Functional Description
The W256 is a 3.3V/2.5V buffer designed to distribute
high-speed clocks in PC applications. The part has 12 outputs.
Designers can configure these outputs to support 3 unbuffered
standard SDRAM DIMMs and 2 DDR DIMMs. The W256 can
be used in conjunction with the W250-02 or similar clock
synthesizer for the VIA Pro 266 chipset.
The W256 also includes an SMBus interface which can enable
or disable each output clock. On power-up, all output clocks
are enabled (internal pull-up).
