The Direct Rambus clock generator (DRCG) provides the necessary clock signals to support a Direct Rambus
memory subsystem. It includes signals to synchronize the Direct Rambus channel clock to an external system
or processor clock. It is designed to support Direct Rambus memory on a desktop, workstation, server, and
mobile PC motherboards. DRCG also provides an off-the-shelf solution for a broad range of Direct Rambus
memory applications.
The DRCG provides clock multiplication and phase alignment for a Direct Rambus memory subsystem to
enable synchronous communication between the Rambus channel and ASIC clock domains. In a Direct
Rambus memory subsystem, a system clock source provides the REFCLK and PCLK clock references to the
DRCG and memory controller, respectively. The DRCG multiplies REFCLK and drives a high-speed BUSCLK
to RDRAMs and the memory controller. Gear ratio logic in the memory controller divides the PCLK and BUSCLK
frequencies by ratios M and N such that PCLKM = SYNCLKN, where SYNCLK = BUSCLK/4. The DRCG detects
the phase difference between PCLKM and SYNCLKN and adjusts the phase of BUSCLK such that the skew
between PCLKM and SYNCLKN is minimized. This allows data to be transferred across the SYNCLK/PCLK
boundary without incurring additional latency.
User control is provided by multiply and mode selection terminals. The multiply terminals provide selection of
one of four clock frequency multiply ratios, generating BUSCLK frequencies ranging from 267 MHz to 533 MHz
with clock references ranging from 33 MHz to 100 MHz. The mode select terminals can be used to select a
bypass mode where the frequency multiplied reference clock is directly output to the Rambus channel for
systems where synchronization between the Rambus clock and a system clock is not required. Test modes are
provided to bypass the PLL and output REFCLK on the Rambus channel and to place the outputs in a
high-impedance state for board testing.
The CDCFR83 is characterized for operation over free-air temperatures of –40°C to 85°C.
