Pin Description
SDRAM Outputs: Provides buffered copy of BUF_IN. The propagation delay from a
rising input edge to a rising output edge is 2.5 to 5 ns. All outputs are skew controlled
to within ±150 ps of each other.
Clock Input: This clock input has an input threshold voltage of 1.5V (typ).
SMBus Data input: Data should be presented to this input as described in the SMBus
section of this data sheet. Internal 250-k: pull-up resistor.
SMBus clock input: The SMBus Data clock should be presented to this input as
described in the SMBus section of this data sheet. Internal 250-k: pull-up resistor.
Power Connection: Power supply for core logic and output buffers. Connected to
3.3V supply.
Ground Connection: Connect all ground pins to the common system ground plane.
Overview
The W191 is a skew controlled fanout buffer optimized for
interface with registered DIMMs.
Functional Description
Output Drivers
The W191 output buffers are CMOS type which deliver a
rail-to-rail (GND to VDD) output voltage swing into a nominal
capacitive load. Thus, output signaling is both TTL and CMOS
level compatible. Nominal output buffer impedance is 15:.
Serial Control
Serial control data is written to the W191 in ten bytes of eight
bits each. Bytes are written in the order shown in Table 1
Writing Data Bytes
Each bit in the data bytes control a particular device function.
Bits are written MSB (most significant bit) first, which is bit 7.
Table 1 gives the bit formats for registers located in Data
Bytes 0-2.

Byte Description
Commands the W191 to accept the bits in Data Bytes 0-6 for internal
register configuration. Since other devices may exist on the same
common serial data bus, it is necessary to have a specific slave address
for each potential receiver. The slave receiver address for the W191 is
11010010. Register setting will not be made if the Slave Address is not
correct (or is for an alternate slave receiver).
Unused by the W191, therefore bit values are ignored (don’t care). This
byte must be included in the data write sequence to maintain proper byte
allocation. The Command Code Byte is part of the standard serial
communication protocol and may be used when writing to another
addressed slave receiver on the serial data bus.

byte must be included in the data write sequence to maintain proper byte

cation protocol and may be used when writing to another addressed slave
receiver on the serial data bus.
The data bits in these bytes set internal W191 registers that control device
operation. The data bits are only accepted when the Address Byte bit
sequence is 11010010, as noted above. For description of bit control
functions, refer to Table 2.
